This paper presents a process for creating adaptive, individualized, instructional hypermedia applications. The process (APHID-2) builds on a prototypical system (APHID) that semiautomatically generates customized, instructional hypermedia applications. APHID ensures that good design principles are followed, both for the hypermedia application and for the interface that presents the hypermedia ...

This paper presents a solution to the maintenance problem in hypermedia by applying object-oriented techniques to both the hypermedia data model and the hypermedia system’s actual implementation. First, the primary concepts of the “MESH” (Maintainable, End user friendly, Structured Hypermedia) approach are discussed briefly. These consist of a conceptual data model, a navigation paradigm and an...

Hypermedia is all about structure. Links represent just one type of structure, navigational. Modern hypermedia systems provide support for additional types of structures (hypermedia domains) as well including spatial, taxonomic, and argumentation. This paper examines the user interface challenges of providing support for multiple hypermedia domains inside Web browsers. A framework for investiga...

Finding hypermedia design patterns is becoming a new trend in hypermedia design. However, as in other domains, especially in software engineering and objectoriented design, too much increase without control in proposing hypermedia design patterns is going against the purpose of design patterns that is to provide easily reusable solutions to identified problems. The reason is that the metaknowle...

It is generally understood that, in the REST architectural style, “hypermedia is the engine of application state”[8]. But what does that really mean? What is hypermedia? Can it be identified within a resource representation? How can hypermedia be the “engine of application state?” In this chapter, a number of different notions of ”hypermedia” along with a formal definition of “Hypermedia Type” ...

World Wide Web authors must cope in a hypermedia environment analogous to second-generation computing languages, building and managing most hypermedia links using simple anchors and single-step navigation. Following this analogy, sophisticated application environments on the World Wide Web will require thirdand fourthgeneration hypermedia features. Implementing thirdand fourth-generation hyperm...

The technology-assisted teaching and learning process has seen a spurt in growth the last two decades. education technology field rapidly embraced new tools techniques to enhance student experience. With evolution of multimedia elements such as digital images, audio, video, graphics, animation, supported by made flexible accessible terms time place. Wi-Fi enabled campuses, it is much easier for...

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Doctor of Philosophy AN AGENT-BASED FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA by Christopher Paul Bailey The field of adaptive hypermedia is a little over a decade old. It has a rich history in a range of fields such as artificial intelligence, user modelling, intelligent tutoring systems and hypertext. Early adaptive hypermedia ...

This paper contributes to an ongoing effort on standardizing open hypermedia system architectures and communication interfaces. Open hypermedia systems share the property of being able to provide non-hypermedia applications with hypermedia structuring and navigation capabilities. This support is currently provided in many different ways. To be able to standardize communication interfaces, it is...

This study focuses on learning in three different hypermedia environments that either support autonomous learning, learner-controlled learning or system-controlled learning and explores the mediating role of academic self-regulation style ( ASRS; i.e., a macro level of motivation) on learning. This to gain more insight in the conditions under which learning in hypermedia environments is effecti...
