- Enhancing learner: centred design of hypermedia artefacts through cognitive and affective indicatorsPublication . Bidarra, José; Chambel, Teresa; Guimarães, NunoThis paper discusses some issues and research findings of the project we call UNIBASE. In order to improve the learning processes through hypermedia technology, we investigated the role of cognitive mapping and the application of certain cognitive ambiguities and breakdowns. The addition of clear learning goals, explicitly expressed through cognitive mapping tools, allowed students to acquire the right knowledge and helped them adopt a productive strategy. Complementary to this elicitation process, video information embedded in hypermedia learning environments was used to increase the levels of attention and motivation, using devices such as movement, novelty and appeal. Our aims were to explore and develop the application of innovative hypermedia artefacts.
- Hiperespaços e mapas cognitivos na aprendizagemPublication . Bidarra, JoséO hipermédia e o multimédia têm sido, por vezes com demasiada ênfase e frequência, colocados no centro das atenções, no que respeita aos actuais desenvolvimentos em tecnologias para aprendizagem a distância. De facto, a investigação corrente sobre as novas tecnologias na educação focalizou desde há muito na descoberta de modos mais eficazes de transmitir aos alunos a informação relevante. Do nosso ponto de vista, contudo, interessa-nos antes saber como desenvolver os artefactos cognitivos que os aprendentes necessitam na sua aprendizagem, por exemplo, em actividades de construção de hiperespaços multimédia na Web e no âmbito de projectos multidisciplinares envolvendo alunos, professores, autores e tecnólogos.
- Handling hypermedia complexity: fractal hyperscapes and mind mappingPublication . Bidarra, José; Guimarães, Nuno; Kommers, PietMainstream research on educational technology has focused on the discovery of more effective ways for conveying “relevant” information to students. A problem that we identified is that students often do not engage with the subject matter, especially when dealing with complex domain representations, even when high quality hypermedia resources are available. With the widespread of multimedia content and the emergence of massive information resources there is a need for powerful and effective learning tools that can handle all kinds of media configurations. Our results show that concept mapping, mind mapping and the creation of hyperscapes are very effective means to give learners control over hypermedia materials and improve motivation.

- Connecting cat: a transmedia learning projectPublication . Rodrigues, Patrícia; Bidarra, JoséIn this paper we present an overview of a transmedia learning project. As part of an ongoing research project, Connecting Cat provides glimpses of a story taking place in the material, physical world, and the imaginary world through image, sound and text. Specifically targeted to English as Second Language students, the project supports entry points for learning through immersion in an adventure story and engagement in multimodal learning activities.
