Hypermedia Annotation
Woolf (1995) describes hypermedia as an aid for learning when the whole materials
are integrated into a computer-based system.

Methodology
Advantage of using Hypermedia Annotation
Mayer (2008)
• Hypermedia Annotation can support learning in a number of ways.
• Enhance vocabulary development.
• brings variety of activities to the class.
• meets demands of students at different abilities.

Methodology
Sample of Hypermedia Annotation
A hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized staff
and equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which has an
emergency department. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its
region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care and long-term care. Specialised
hospitals include trauma centres, rehabilitation hospitals, children's hospitals, seniors' (

geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical needs such as
psychiatric problems (see psychiatric hospital) and certain disease categories.
Specialised hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals.
A teaching hospital combines assistance to people with teaching to medical students
and nurses. The medical facility smaller than a hospital is generally called a clinic.
Hospitals have a range of departments (e.g.: surgery and urgent care) and specialist
units such as cardiology. Some hospitals have outpatient departments and some have
chronic treatment units. Common support units include a pharmacy, pathology, and
radiology.

Previous Research

•

Sakar and Ercetin (2005) had investigated the effect on using hypermedia
for reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition . The participants
were tested by using hypermedia annotation that employed texts, pictures
and video at the same time. They concluded that there were some of
positive points of using hypermedia annotation while reading a
comprehension text instead of their interesting and motivating.
