| dc.description.abstract | The application of computers to the process of teaching and learning holds many prognoses. Their use has been seen as a way of improving the quality of delivery, increase the individualization of learning, encouraging learning privacy, provide greater motivation, improve information retention. Other advantages include immediate feedback, the opportunity of leasable students to benefit from repeated use, and more active participation by students. of all the possible applications of computer technology to learning, hypertext seems to be one ""ith a great potential Hypertext allows learners to access randomly stored information based on their needs, interest, or whims. It focuses learner attention on the relationship of facts. It also encourages active student -centered learning since there are always decisions about what to read next. Learning in one's own language is believed to be important. One of the most important advantages of learning in one's own language is that learning begins with something that is already known The need for training on the basics of computers is strongly felt in Ethiopia. This high demand of producing computer littermate people is being responded by the mushrooming of computer training institutions in Addis Ababa and the major cities of the country. It was identified that the training situation, being in its infancy, is faced with many problems. This study attempts to demonstrate the design and development of a hypertext based courseware in Amharic by considering a case study on the course 'Introduction to Computers' which is being offered at the National Computer and Information Centre of Ethiopian Science and Technology Commission. It also tries to address problems regarding the computer training situation in the country. A literature review on the definition, advantage, design consideration, types, and current trends and developments on hypertext and courseware is presented. Different models of hypertext and courseware development are discussed. The models are used to identify the steps and processes involved in the development process of a hypertext courseware which satisfies instructional System principles. The quick prototyping software system development approach is used to develop the course ware. Knowledge Pro for Windows is used to develop the program. | en_US |
