Hyperdocs are documents that make extensive use of hyperlinks and its digital medium. Students click through at their own pace, answering questions and using outside resources to enhance their learning experience.

For example, this hyperdoc about electricity takes students through a lesson, step by step. Instead of a teacher showing videos to the entire class and waiting for everyone to finish completing the activity, each student can finish at their own pace. This creates less room for distraction, because students always have something new to do.

Another benefit of hyperdocs is their versatility. Digital documents can hold anything, from editable drawings to games embedded in them. The linked hyperdoc is a great example. In the lesson, students write a chart about what they know, watch external videos, and conduct their own experiment.
