Abstract(s)
In this paper we discuss the concept of ecological strategy in relation
to cognitive artefacts that reflect the expressive power of learners engaged in
the development of significant knowledge paths. Our experiments show that
learners strive to make sense of the fragmentary information surrounding them
and in this endeavour they may benefit from the creation of knowledge maps,
i.e. branched structures of knowledge that depart from a central node, a starting
point or a homepage. In the course of creating these fractal hyperspaces on the
Web, with integration of varied multimedia materials, the range of cognitive
strategies used during the learning process becomes evident, both at individual
and collective level. Perhaps ecological strategies may encourage a new research approach regarding the study of knowledge construction within complex
hypermedia environments.
