摘要：This research analyzes the uses of online resources on a digital campus, in which more than
1000 students are learning using a web platform. The report focuses on the uses of hypertextual links ;
the purpose is to define and to explain the concept of connected curriculum. The first research reports
on hypermedia in learning underlined the risk of cognitive cost and cognitive overload. Some recent
findings, however, are more nuanced and show that the learner becomes more and more able to
navigate the more he browses the web. But learning through external resources available on the web,
makes the frontier invisible between the formal curriculum and what we call the connected
curriculum. Our research was organized into 3 phases : 1) to categorize hypertextual links existing in
the selected online resources, 2) to analyze the uses of these links by the students, 3) to analyze what
the teachers, authors of the online resources, are expecting when offering hypertextual links.
This article presents the first results from data collected through non directive interviews and will
explain the convergence between the existence of hypertextual links and their uses by the learners.
