We meet again for the next tutorial activity, the 6th tutorial using Blogspot and after this we will move to the new blog which is Wordpress. Well, let us go straight to the point and for the first round as usual we were all conducted to find the definition of the 6 terms and last by reflecting ourselves when dealing with printed materials and digital materials.
Now for the definitions, there are 6 terms which is Hypertext, Hyperlink, Hypermedia, Online reading, Digital literacy and Reading strategies.
Hypertext
Text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references to other text (other page of the same site) that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence. Source
Hyperlink
A hyperlink, or simply a link, is a reference in a hypertext document to another document or other resource.
However, combined with a data network and suitable access protocol, it can be used to fetch the resource referenced. This can then be saved, viewed, or displayed as part of the referencing document. Source
Hypermedia
Hypermedia is a term used as a logical extension of the term hypertext, in which audio, video, plain text, and non-linear hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information.
This contrasts with multimedia, which, although often capable of random access in terms of the physical medium, is essentially linear in nature. Source
Example of Hypermedia
Online Reading
Reading activities conducted online via Internet using digital technologies and there is hypermedia support. Example of Online Reading is TampaReads.

Digital Literacy
The ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and create information using digital technology.
Reading Strategies
It is a skills used, depending on personal preference, to read efficiently. This is the example of Reading Strategies provided by Greece Central School District.
Okay, enough with the definitions. So let us move on to the second tutorial which is reflect and discuss your own reading preferences and strategies when dealing with printed materials and digital material.
As for me, I use both of the materials in my daily life. But then, I prefer more on printed material such as printed notes or book since I can bring them everywhere anytime I want. Plus, I can add extra notes using pen or pencil right on the printed notes or marks important notes using coloured highlighter. While using digital materials for instance laptop, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), smart phones or iPhones, you can easily change the format of the notes and can links to the other references notes quickly using Internet connection.
Therefore, every materials have their own advantages and disadvantaged, but it's all depends on you to choose which one you prefer :)
That's all for this post. Thank you and HAND.
