An Adaptive Hypermedia System Integrating Thinking Style (AHS-TS): Model and Experiment

چکیده
This paper presents an approach to integrate thinking styles into adaptive hypermedia system. The main objective was to develop an adaptive system and assess the effect of adapting pedagogical activities individualized to the student’s thinking style. The proposed approach used adaptive hypermedia technology to improve learning process by adapting course content presentation to student thinking styles. The design of adaptive hypermedia is based on quantitative and qualitative research. The adaptation rules are deduced from the results of a psychological questionnaire. Pedagogical activities are the outcome of a series of inferences; the final activity sets are manifested in adaptive hypermedia system. Stereotype user model is used to cluster all possible users into groups, providing mapping from a specific combination of user features to one of the stereotypes. Our approach is inspired by HBDI® model, focusing on the perspective of learner, meeting the needs of an adaptive hypermedia system.

متن کاملA Model of Adaptive e-learning Hypermedia System based on Thinking and Learning Styles
Most approaches to adaptive hypermedia were based around acquiring and representing learner’s knowledge. While this is crucial for user modelling in general adaptive hypermedia, it is very limited for e-learning because it does not address the far more fundamental problem which is “learners learn in different ways, different learning styles and different thinking styles”. The design of adaptive...

Personalized recommenders have proved to be of use as a solution to reduce the information overload problem. Especially in Adaptive Hypermedia System, a recommender is the main module that delivers suitable learning objects to learners. Recommenders suffer from the cold-start and the sparsity problems. Furthermore, obtaining learner’s preferences is cumbersome. Most studies have only focused...
متن کاملDiscovering Learner Styles in Adaptive e-Learning Hypermedia Systems
A distinct feature of an adaptive e-learning hypermedia system (AEHS) is the learner model it employs, that is, a representation of information about an individual learner. Learner modeling and adaptation are strongly correlated, in the sense that the amount and nature of the information represented in the learner model depend largely on the kind of adaptation effect that the system has to deli...
