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.

Adaptive 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 ...

Motivational Value of Navigation Support Case of Annotated Code Examples Independent Study Report

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 ...

Supporting 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...
