Why use HyperDocs?
HyperDocs are a great way to plan and organize your instructional activities
They can serve as a tool to bridge the distance when physical presence in the classroom is limited.
They are adaptable for online and offline use allowing you to repurpose your materials and content.
Their design can be very simple or complex. An instructional email with links is a hyperdoc. Perhaps you have already designed your first one!
Simple designs work for learners and educators learning to use new apps and features together.
More complex designs can be done gradually as you become more comfortable with tools and features within applications.
As you integrate more features, links and apps, remember to keep visual elements clean and simple to ensure readability and accessibility.
HyperDocs support blended learning and can be adapted for online and offline use.
Hyperdocs support the four Cs of blended learning and open up possibilities for
Creativity
Collaboration
Communication using a variety of modalities
Critical thinking and questioning.
