Evaluation of Interoperability of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems: testing the MOT to WHURLE conversion in a classroom setting
نویسندگان
چکیده
The creation process of adaptive hypermedia is rarely evaluated. Moreover, conversion between different adaptive hypermedia systems has barely been proposed, yet alone tested in realistic settings. This paper presents the evaluation of the interoperability of two adaptive (educational) hypermedia systems, MOT and WHURLE, the one serving as authoring system, and the other as delivery system. The evaluation is performed with the help of a class of thirty-one students enrolled in the fourth year of the “Politehnica” Unversity of Bucharest, who were taking a one-week intensive course on Adaptive Hypermedia. This paper describes and interprets our first experiments of the “write once, deliver many” paradigm of adaptive hypermedia creation.

Interoperability as an Aid to Authoring: Accessing User Models in Multiple AEH Systems
Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) is very time consuming and complex to produce. Moreover, with the rapid rate of AEH development, content generated within a given system can become outdated very rapidly. Both of these contribute to the slow uptake of AEH outside of the research community. We consider interoperability between AEH systems to be an important part of the solution to this probl...
متن کاملAdaptive Educational Hypermedia Content Creation: A Web Service based Architecture
The penetration of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) within the educational community has been very poor so far. In part this is due to the complexity of the authoring process. But it also influenced by the often short ‘lifetime’ of the AEH software itself. We see AEH system interoperability as a route to address these problems. This paper builds on previous limited interoperability work, b...
متن کاملEvaluation of Interoperability between MOT and Regular Learning Management Systems
Adaptive Hypermedia content offers personalization; however, (re)using such material with regular Learning Management Systems (LMS) is not yet straightforward. Ideally, materials created once should be usable anywhere. One such vehicle for reusability is represented by e-learning standards. Thus, here we describe the extension and evaluation of My Online Teacher (MOT), an adaptive hypermedia au...

متن کاملEvaluation of Adaptive Hypermedia Authoring Patterns during a Socrates Programme Class
In this paper we present the second experiment in combining teaching and research: the testing of MOT and its new adaptive patterns. MOT is an adaptive hypermedia authoring tool based on the LAOS adaptive hypermedia authoring framework. The patterns are implemented via an adaptive language that uses a low granularity domain model, LAOS, to extract the adaptation alternatives. The tests were per...
