This paper discusses the advantages of offering adaptive hypermedia functionality in the e-Learning context through adaptive hypermedia services. We think that this option bridges the gap between the complexity of authoring and the ease-of-use necessary for successful adaptive hypermedia. This paper presents an open architecture for adaptive e-Learning that would make these adaptive hypermedia ...

Adaptive hypermedia systems (AHS) offer an alternative to the traditional “one-size-fitsall” hypermedia and Web systems by adapting to the goals, interests, and knowledge of individual users represented in the individual user models. This paper serves as a review of all different variables reported in the literature that have been used in AHS.

Currently, adaptive educational hypermedia systems (AEHS) are described with nonuniform methods, depending on the specific view on the system, the application, or other parameters. There is no common language for expressing functionality of AEHS, hence these systems are difficult to compare and analyze. In this paper we investigate how a logical description can be employed to characterize adapt...

This work presents an approach for specifying the navigational characteristics of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, providing the conceptual primitives of a pre-existing Navigational Model with adaptive navigational properties. These properties allow managing the accessibility and order of the modelled navigational paths according to the characteristics of the user. Values of these properties define...

The complexity involved in hypermedia authoring has lead to many di€erent proposals of models, methodologies and systems. And this complexity can become even greater when the purpose is to develop applications for education. In this paper we describe a qualitative evaluation that analysed the processes involved in the authoring of hypermedia applications for education by interviewing both resea...

Adaptive Hypermedia Systems constitutes a recent research area that shows great application capacity for the development of Web Learning Environment. The system’s idea is to personalize or to adapt a Hypermedia System for users. Thus each user will have one determined vision of the content and the navigation structure, or either, the system tries to anticipate the user’s necessities and desires...

Interoperability and cross-fertilization of multiple hypermedia domains are relatively new concerns to the open hypermedia and structural computing community. Recent work in this area has explored integrated data models and component-based structural service architectures. This paper focuses on the user interface aspects relating to client applications of the structural services. It presents an...
