In this study the effects of visualization tools were examined on argumentation skills, knowledge acquisition, and cognitive load during hypermedia learning. Participants in this experiment completed ...an argumentation task on the issues of genetics and gene manipulation by using a hypermedia learning environment as a resource. In one condition, participants were provided with a graphical mind mapping tool in order to complete an argumentation task. In another mind mapping condition, participants were provided with images representing the content in the hypermedia information database expecting a dual-coding of information. In a third condition, a two-columned text editor was given. Results suggest that the text-based argumentation tool contributed most to produce more arguments with a higher degree of soundness. Nevertheless, all three conditions led to comparable results regarding knowledge acquisition and motivation.

Journal Article
The paper challenges the reader to re-examine his or her perceptions; to revisit the fundamentals of the intellectual framework within which they are working; and to take noted of the lessons learnt ...from the experience. The first part of the discussion is in the form of a retrospective review of business thinking, illustrating the scant attention which was paid to issues concerned with purchasing by academics, consultants and managers in the 60's and 70's. In the second part, an embryonic model is provided for thinking and research in the purchasing field. In addition, a technique is described (with appropriate “thought starters”) which should enable readers to “audit” their thinking.
