Designing Meta-Learning Tool for Learning Web Contents

Learning in hyperspace provided by Web contents requires learners not only to navigate the Web pages to construct their own knowledge from the contents learned at and between the pages, but also to control their own navigation and knowledge construction processes. However, it is not so easy to continue the learning processes since the learners do not always learn how to learn Web contents. This paper discusses how to scaffold this meta-learning process. This paper also demonstrates meta-learning tools, which scaffold navigation planning and reflection for controlling learning processes. KEYWORDS Meta-Learning, Scaffolding, Learning Affordance, Navigational Learning, Hyperspace, Web.
