Development of Hypertext-Based Teaching Materials in Curriculum and Learning Courses during the Covid-19 Pandemic

“…Computer support and hypertext formats will be very helpful in a flexible instructional approach that allows students to access information according to their own needs. Hypertext-based teaching materials make it easy for students to access learning materials both online and offline and can focus on predetermined teaching materials (Arini et al, 2021). In addition, hypertext can also facilitate students to produce functional models related to general descriptions of curriculum and learning course materials.…”
