We discuss how future elementary teachers in a physics class progress through the CoMPASS (Concept Map Project-based Activity Scaffolding System) curriculum that facilitates learning by integrating hands-on and hypertext activities in a design-based context. We report on the criteria that participants use while making design predictions, their navigation strategies on the hypertext system, and what they learn about their design task after completing the hypertext and hands-on activities.
