The World Wide Web (WWW) is an increasingly important source of educational material. However, only scant research has been directed towards making this educational information accessible to the deaf. Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) is an area of research that aims to enhance the functionality of hypermedia systems, such as the WWW, by enabling users to personalise their interaction with the digital c...

The challenge of the semantic web is the provision of distributed information with well defined meaning, understandable for different parties. Particularly, applications should be able to provide individually optimized access to information by taking the individual needs and requirements of the users into account. In this paper we propose a framework for personalized e-Learning in the semantic ...

The interoperability of educational systems, encouraged by the development of specifications, standards and tools related to the Semantic Web is limited to the exchange of information in domain and student models. High system interoperability requires that a common framework be defined that represents the functional essence of educational systems. To address this need, we developed a generic mo...

This paper outlines the educational advantages provided by adaptive systems and stresses the importance of the user model in the task of adaptation. The paper also establishes a general taxonomy of user models thereby enabling classification of any model according to various features related to its structure and management. This taxonomy allows an exhaustive description of all user models, faci...

Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems represent an emerging technology that provides a unique advantage over traditional Web-based Educational Systems; that is the ability to adapt to the user's needs, goals, preferences etc. Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems are increasingly becoming part of the mainstream education, yet there does not exist a disciplined way of designing them most of th...

The article discusses the methodology taken for instructional design of adaptive courses based on learner character such as learner goals and preferences, learner style and, as well, learner performance and satisfaction level. The adaptive course is presented by storyboard graph, whose nodes are pages with learning content, but paths in it represent different pedagogical strategies set by the i...
