Journal of Interactive Media in Education


JIME was launched in 1996 as a freely accessible, archived, peer reviewed electronic journal for the dissemination and debate of research in educational, interactive multimedia. Founded by Diana Laurillard, and co-edited from the start by Simon Buckingham Shum and Tamara Sumner (now at U. Colorado Boulder), JIME has established itself as a small scale, experimental e-journal which is widely cited for its innovative web-based, conversational peer-review process, its practice of co-publishing web review discussions with articles, its use of embedded multimedia demonstrations of systems. Published and supported solely by the Open University, JIME uses state of the art technologies to demonstrate the potential of 'internet native' scholarly publishing and discourse.

The JIME website has the full text of all articles, review debates and background research articles on our experiences as researchers and publishers: http://www-jime.open.ac.uk/

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
