Constructing the Hypermedia Knowledge

The present article reports the experience of a Mastership/Doctorate class in the Production Engineering Postgraduation Program of Santa Catarina Federal University, with the finality of building a prototype of an educational software. The proposal was to facilitate hypermedia teaching, using hypermedia it self and starting from constructivism basements for the making of the project, named Building Hypermedia. The developed program enveloped pedagogically and operationally three phases: a navigation inside a given hypermedia, a feedback and a conscientization of the traveled way, and the possibility of making a singular hypermedia. The study is here presented on its essence, with the report of the work stages, the discrimination of the basic contents and the insertion of the main frames of the software. The objective is to show what results were reached and demonstrate the use and utility of hypermedia, as a computational mechanism with wide and diversified resources, mainly in teaching area
