Content design issues in adaptive hyperbooks

MetaLinks: Authoring and Affordances for Conceptual and Narrative Flow in Adaptive Hyperbooks

MetaLinks, an authoring tool and web server for adaptive hyperbooks, is described. MetaLinks hyperbooks provide textbook-like content in a flexible manner that supports opportunistic processes of active reading and learning. Through adaptive methods a single on-line artifact can address the diverse needs of a variety of user goals and backgrounds. The system is designed to support inquiry, expl...

Applying Text Comprehension and Active Reading Principles to Adaptive Hyperbooks

We show how cognitive and educational research and theory from the areas of text comprehension and "active reading" strategies can be applied to the domain of hypermedia textbooks ("hyperbooks"). We describe our work on the MetaLinks system, which is an authoring tool and web-based server for adaptive hyperbooks. In this paper we describe how findings from text comprehension research are incorp...

Adaptive hyperbooks: adaptation for project-based learning resources

Bridging O-Telos and XML with XML Schema: the Authoring Environment for KBS Adaptive Hyperbook

KBS Adaptive Hyperbook is a framework designed for modeling, organizing, and maintaining distributed hypermedia resources on the Web with the purpose of supporting Web-based distance education. Since the Hyperbook system is implemented based on a sophisticated meta modeling language (O-Telos), its authoring depends to a great extent on the Hyperbook developers instead of the lecturers who have ...

Student Modeling in an Active Learning Environment using Bayesian Networks

Learning environments that allow for active (constructivist) learning lead to different adaptation requirements than environments based on more conventional teaching strategies. We discuss our approach of building adaptive hyperbooks (adaptive extendible information resources on the internet). The adaptation techniques used in our hyperbooks are based on a goal-driven approach for selecting pro...
