Education for information society: An attempt from the University of Rijeka (Croatia)

This paper presents an attempt in education for information society at the University of Rijeka Faculty of Education. The idea that rooted this project is that change in content, but in methods as well, have to be obtained in order to prepare the students for the information age. The simplicity of HTML for development of hypermedia applications allows that students not only learn hypermedia and searching the WWW, but also that they themselves create their own projects. In this study students with no prior experience with Internet and hypermedia were introduced to elementary hypermedia concept and how to design hypermedia applications for World Wide Web. The study focused not on the content of the projects, but more on the design and presentation on a computer using hypermedia elements and HTML.
