ABSTRACT
In this paper a course concept based on collaborative construction of hypervideos is presented. The course concept integrates a) hypervideo technology development, b) research on learning with hypervideo systems, and c) the application of research on knowledge acquisition by writing texts or hypertexts to hypervideos. We demonstrate how collaborative construction of hypervideo can support knowledge transforming processes (see Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Stahl & Bromme, 2004) in university courses of psychology students. In the first part of the paper a hypervideo system that enables collaborative design activities by users is discussed. Afterwards the course concept is presented in detail. Evaluation results are consistent with our assumptions. The course concept showed to be successful and well appreciated by the students.
