Description

Because of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, educators have an obligation to ensure that all students have the opportunity to access hypermedia instruction. Digital media is an important tool in meeting this obligation, because it offers flexibility in manipulating and adapting instruction to the needs of a variety of learners (Rose, Meyer, & Hitchcock, 2005). Hypermedia instruction allows instructors to provide learners with a variety of choices in selecting instructional objectives and approaches for acquiring information. Because hypermedia is able to link to digital media that can be modified and adapted, educators across various educational levels believe that hypermedia can meet the needs of diverse learners (Rose et al., 2005). However, linking to the different forms of modified digital media adds an additional layer to instructional material. Hyperlinking provides choices to learners, requiring them to use metacognitive skills as part of their decision-making process in selecting the links that will maximize their learning experience in those environments (Anderson-Inman, Knox-Quinn, & Horney, 1996; Davidson-Shivers, Shorter, Jordan, & Rasmussen, 1999; McGrath, 1992; Wijekumar, 2005). Increased choice selection creates the potential for learners to become disoriented or confused when navigating through lessons (Dias & Sousa, 1997). Because of the connection between metacognition and navigational decisions, built-in accommodations should include metacognitive supports in navigation for individuals with different learning challenges. Individuals with ADHD experience metacognitive skill deficits (Barkley, 1998; Borkowski, Peck, Reid, & Kurtz, 1983), which can hamper their ability to use hypermedia.
