I started my dissertation in  1996 at a time when the Internet experience was moving from text-based browsers to graphical browser starting with Mosaic and then Netscape. Not having any idea at the time what the impact this technology shift from text to visual would have on the world, I shortsightedly chose to conduct an experimental research project on the impact of hypertext documents on learner control in a totally text-based environment. Well, the Internet rapidly changed after the research and before I could complete the dissertation report which meant that the research results no longer had any value in online pedagogy. But it was a great experience and the skills I developed along the way have served me very well as an instructional designer, educational technologist, and web developer.

For what it is worth, here it is.
