Adaptive Navigation Support in Educational Hypermedia: An Evaluation of the ISIS-Tutor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adaptive navigation support (ANS) is a new direction of research within the area of adaptive interfaces. The goal of ANS techniques is to help users find an appropriate path in the learning and information space by adapting link presentation to the goals, knowledge, and other characteristics of an individual user. This paper is devoted to evaluation of adaptive navigation support in educational context. We present an educational hypermedia system ISIS-Tutor that applies several ANS technologies -adaptive annotation, adaptive hiding, and direct guidance -and describe a study, which evaluates the first two technologies. The results show that adaptive navigation support is helpful and can reduce user navigation efforts.

A Technology of Adaptive Link Insertion in Educational Hypermedia
This paper describes an adaptive technology of link insertion, used in educational hypermedia. It also presents an adaptive hypermedia system that uses this technology and the results of system evaluation in a real environment. The described adaptive system integrates elements of knowledge uncertainty into the user model. This model is then used for system adaptation, which builds on adaptive l...

متن کاملAdaptive navigation support in educational hypermedia: the role of student knowledge level and the case for meta-adaptation
Adaptive hypermedia is an alternative to the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach in the development of hypermedia systems. Adaptive hypermedia (AH) systems build a model of the goals, preferences, and knowledge of each individual user, and use this model throughout the interaction with the user, in order to adapt to the needs of that user. Adaptive navigation support is a specific group of...
متن کاملMaximizing educational opportunity for every type of learner: adaptive hypermedia for web-based education
The paper discusses the problems of applying adaptive hypermedia techniques, namely adaptive navigation support in Web-based educational courseware. Adaptive navigation support techniques provide support mechanisms, which are tailored to accommodate the current knowledge, background and learning goal of an individual user. Web-based education with adaptive guidance is a way to maximize educatio...
متن کاملNavigation Support in a Web-based Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System
While using the Web-based hypermedia courseware the students need navigational help to find their way through the learning material. Otherwise, they could get lost in hyperspace. In this paper we describe our approach developing Web-based adaptive educational hypermedia systems (AEHS) with the emphasis on adaptive navigation support. Our goal is to develop an AEHS, which would restrict the st...
