Adaptation Criteria for Preparing Learning Material for Adaptive Usage: Structured Content Analysis of Existing Systems

Using learning material in an adaptive way requires a preparation beforehand. In order to guide the process of creating learning material, criteria for adaptation and techniques for content preparation have to be known. The aim of this paper is to give first hints for such guidance. Therefore, adaptation criteria and provisions which can be used to realize such a preparation should be identified. For this purpose, adaptation criteria were derived by investigating 30 existing adaptive systems. Based on these criteria first hints for preparation of learning material for adaptive use will be given.
