We consider open learner models (OLM) with reference to adaptive navigation support and learner control. Our purpose is to assess the potential of a greater range of OLMs in adaptive educational hypermedia. We introduce five OLMs, discuss how these might be applied, and present learner reactions.

Hypermedia applications generally contain a rich (hyper)link structure. For users of a hypermedia application the richness of this link structure can generate comprehension and orientation problems. Adaptive techniques have been used by a number of researchers [see e.g. 1,2,4,5,8,11,12,15,16,17] in an attempt to offer guidance through and orientation support for rich link structures. The majori...

In this paper we investigate how authoring activities of adaptive educational hypermedia content may cultivate e-learning content development skills, and promote reflection on learning design issues. Developing content for adaptive educational hypermedia systems is a demanding task that engage authors in self-explanatory activities and deep investigation of resources that correspond to learners...

This study examines the evidence for the effectiveness of adaptive learning. It first analyses the different classifications of adaptive learning systems existing in the literature, to focus later on Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) describing some examples of both types of systems. Next, the Effect Size (ES) tool is adopted as a standard way to compare th...

In this paper we build on research reported in the areas of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia and learning styles in order to deal with critical issues influencing the design of adaptation based on the learning style information. In more detail we concentrate on: (i) the different learning style categorizations that have been or could be used for modelling learners’ learning style in the context ...
