¶ … Hypertext Document
The influence of technology is everywhere. This is especially the case with regard to literature and the written word. Hypertext, as a means of displaying text and graphics, has developed with the growth of the Internet as a unique way of conveying information and knowledge interactively. The key aspect of hypertext is interaction.
The fact that visual elements and images can also be included adds to the value and meaning of hypertext. Hypertext documents are essentially non-linear, which means that one can easily move around the text from one related section to another. One does not have to follow a sequential or linear method of engaging the material as would be the case in any print media. With the click of a button one can view extra information or details of a text document or search for different areas within a site or area under review.
Hypertext documents need to be well designed so that the viewer or reader does not get lost or confused. Navigation and the way in which the document is constructed is a vital part in the evaluation of a hypertext site. The site under review works comparatively well in a technical sense; there are no major technical flaws and the site loads rapidly.

Having said that, an indication of a site that is well-managed site is that the web links are regularly checked and either redirected or erased. The fonts used and the display of the elements on this site were very readable and well arranged.
An important part of a hypertext document is the navigation; and in this regard the site routing works reasonably well.
However, the navigation process could have been made easier and more attractive. The navigation is facilitated essentially by means of a sidebar, which is effective in that the links are accessible throughout the document. The links are self-explanatory and concise with the logical index.
The value of hypertext is that it can provide links to a wide range of additional and supplementary information. This document is extended and enhanced by the use of hypertext links within the text to provide access to supplementary and explanatory information. As the intended target audience includes academics and scholars, the hypertext links are appropriate and well placed. The reference to different editions is also an aspect which adds to the academic depth of the document. The content of the document certainly adds to the literature and does so in a way that is both informative and interesting. As mentioned, the content is considerably enhanced by the links to detailed and extra information. This aspect however was not very extensive.

references to women and female rights could have been included.
On the one hand, there are some excellent aspects to the site, including the bibliographic material which was academically impressive. In summation the site succeeds as a focused and limited document. On the other hand however, the site fails to explore the full extent of what hypertext media offers. Similarly, possibly the site could also be brought more up-to-date in a technical and design sense.
Web-based technologies are in fact the essence of distance learning because students from all over the world can attend courses they could not if the were confined to a geographic location. Organizational and reference tools including digital calendars, dictionaries, translation devices, and journals allow both instructor and student to manage their time more efficiently. Digital calendars can be set with alarms that help students manage their time better: setting intermediate
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to

Similar to the suggestions offered by Gahala (2001), Brody (1995) identified several traits to be considered when developing a comprehensive professional development program. Among those traits include the reputation of the trainer, the rewards available to the participants, both tangible and intangible, and the support of the administration. Traditional staff development models have required everyone to participate at the same time and in the same location creating problems such
