This paper examines adaptive hypermedia systems and interfaces. Adaptive hypermedia systems are hypermedia systems that adapt the presentation of material or the navigational support provided according to a user model. This user model may be based on expertise, learning style, or other criteria and may be implemented through a variety of techniques. The goal of adaptive systems is to address th...

Assessment plays an important role in the distance-learning research. Generally, the process of instruction completed with the assessment that be used to evaluate learners’ learning efficiency, skill and knowledge. With the evaluation of assessment results, instructor can judge learners’ learning efficiency and ability; students also can find out whether they acquire the learning material compl...

This course gives an introduction to the design of efficient datatypes for adaptive wavelet-based applications. It presents some code fragments and benchmark technics useful to learn about the design of sparse data structures and adaptive algorithms. Material and practical examples are given, and they provide good introduction for anyone involved in the development of adaptive applications. An ...

There is little doubt that intelligent and adaptive educational technologies are capable of providing personalized learning experiences and improving learning success. Current challenges for research and development in this field concern, for example, the design of comprehensive data models for adaptive systems as well as the interoperability of systems and the reusability of learning material ...

Every learner is fundamentally different. However, few courses are delivered in a way that is tailored to the specific needs of each student. Delivery systems for adaptive educational hypermedia have been extensively researched and found promising. Still, authoring of adaptive courses remains a challenge. In prior research, we have built an adaptive hypermedia authoring system, MOT3.0. The main...

The nonlinear partial differential equations of the anisotropic biphasic theory of tissue-equivalent mechanics are solved with axial symmetry by an adaptive finite element system. The adaptive procedure operates within a method-of-lines framework using finite elements in space and backward difference software in time. Spatial meshes are automatically refined, coarsened, and relocated in respons...

This paper discusses the problems of developing versatile adaptive and intelligent learning systems that can be used in the context of practical Web-based education. We argue that versatility is an important feature of successful Web-based education systems. We introduce ELM-ART, an intelligent interactive educational system to support learning programming in LISP. ELM-ART provides all learning...

Existing adaptive learning systems use various user characteristics for preparing personalized presentation of educational material for each user (a student). In the process of learning limited capacity of the human memory plays important role. The student often forgets part of knowledge acquired during the learning. In this paper we discuss implications of remembering and forgetting for the ad...
