"HYPERMEDIA"
"From hypertext to hypermedia.In The COOPerator project, we have extended the hypertext model to the more general concept of hypermedia. In hypermedia the elements that are linked together in the network could be text, graphics, audio recordings, animation, digitised speech, and full motion video. Similar to Nelson's definition of hypertext, hypermedia or a non-sequential, multimedial document is
a combination of multiple media elements with the computer's capacity for interactive branching or dynamic display (the playing of sounds inclusive) of a non-linear document which cannot be printed conveniently on conventional paper.
The last part of the definition is true in two different ways: not only are students unable to print the entire document in a linear fashion on conventional paper, including annotations, alternative document parts or the underlying discussion, it will also be very difficult to obtain tangible copies from multimedial document parts like sounds and video fragments! In the remainder of this paragraph, the term 'hypermedia' will be used."

"Multimedia es una colección de tecnologías basadas en la utilización de la com-putadora que da al usuario la capacidad de acceder y procesar información en por los menos tres de las siguientes formas; texto, gráficos, imagen fija, imagen en movimien-to y audio. Cuando se permite al usuario controlar ciertos elementos y el momento en que deben presentarse, se le llama Multimedia Interactiva. Si se incluye una estructura Multimedia de elementos relacionados a través de los cuales el usuario puede navegar, entonces hablamos de Hypermedia."
