NavEx: Providing Navigation Support for Adaptive Browsing of Annotated Code Examples
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents NavEx, an adaptive environment for accessing interactive programming examples. NavEx implements a specific kind of adaptive navigation support known as adaptive annotation. The classroom study of NavEx confirmed that adaptive navigation support can visibly increase student motivation to work with non-mandatory educational content. NavEx boosted the overall amount of work and the average length of a session. In addition, various features of NavEx were highly regarded by the students.

An Adaptive E-Learning Service for Accessing Interactive Examples
This paper discusses the need to provide adaptive navigational support for students accessing large numbers of interactive examples in Web-enhanced education. Here we introduce the system NavEx (Navigation to Examples), which is able to provide the adaptive annotation of programming examples without the need for manual indexing. NavEx uses innovative algorithms for the prerequisite-outcome inde...
متن کاملAdaptive Hypermedia Services for E-Learning
This paper discusses the advantages of offering adaptive hypermedia functionality in the e-Learning context through adaptive hypermedia services. We think that this option bridges the gap between the complexity of authoring and the ease-of-use necessary for successful adaptive hypermedia. This paper presents an open architecture for adaptive e-Learning that would make these adaptive hypermedia ...

A. WebEx Interface WebEx, a Web-based tool for interactive exploration of programming examples, was designed to overcome the problems listed above. A program example in WebEx appears to be just the same as it looked in a program editor (Figure 1). The only visible difference is the presence of green or white navigation bullets to the left of each line. A green bullet indicates the availability ...
متن کاملSupporting Adaptive Hypermedia Authors with Automated Content Indexing
The main hindrance to expanded use of adaptive educational hypermedia systems is the need for content to be properly described in the terms of domain concepts. This requirement slows down the authoring process and creates an obstacle to the broader distribution of such systems. In the current paper, we propose an approach to providing automated content indexing for adaptive educational hypermed...
