The design of an adaptive or adaptable educational hypermedia (AEH) is a complex process. Beside the design activities of “conventional” educational hypermedia, it involves a number of other tasks the design of the learner model, of the user model detection mechanisms, of the adaptation capabilities (to dynamically customize the application according to the learner’s model), of the user control...

In education, instructors adopt different instructional modes that correspond to their preferred teaching style: some focus on principles and others on applications; some present the material in a logical progression of small incremental steps, others proceed from the big picture to the detail and so on. On the other side, students are characterized by different learning styles: preferences or ...

This paper introduces the concept of asynchronous adaptive hypermedia systems for the first time. Furthermore, the related upcoming new features are shown and put in context of privacy.

The production of resources supporting the needs of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) is labor-intensive. As a result, content production is focused upon meeting the needs of resources with higher demand, which limits the extent upon which long tail content requirement niches of AHS can be met. Open corpus slicing attempts to convert the wealth of information available on the World Wide Web, in...

The amount of information on the web is permanently growing. The orientation within the information is becoming more and more complicated. It is necessary to develop a system able to adapt the information for the needs of the user and to personalize the presentation of information according to his/her preferences. In this paper we discuss current approaches used in the research, both advantages...

We propose a generic presentation system for adaptive educational hypermedia that is highly independent from domain knowledge representation and application state management. Our approach is based on providing a) a module for knowledge representation by means of the definition of domain ontologies that best fit specific domains and/or authors, b) a module for building courses by constructing se...

Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) ideally allows for the delivery of the right information to the right student. Strategies for adaptation can be described via the LAG language. The PEAL tool offers many common programming environment features to ease development in LAG but authoring adaptation strategies is still considered timeconsuming and difficult, especially for the inexperienced auth...
