Currently we teach and learn using lectures supported by books (and scruffy equivalents such as xeroxed notes) as well as presentations in form of bulleted itemized summary lists

Hyperlinks make "sequential" books very unnatural.

Further computers are not very good at flipping sequentially through electronic pages -- I can beat computer flipping paper book!
|
Thus one can suggest that (electronic) encyclopedia is a better model so that Encyclopedia Galactica is natural abstraction for the Web

my children prefer Encyclopedias to electronic books on CDROM

|
This suggests that Web Information should be produced in short hyperlinked modules as in Encyclopedia articles
