Individual Differences in Adaptive Hypermedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we build on research reported in the areas of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia and learning styles in order to deal with critical issues influencing the design of adaptation based on the learning style information. In more detail we concentrate on: (i) the different learning style categorizations that have been or could be used for modelling learners’ learning style in the context of an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System and the way these could guide the design of adaptation, (ii) the adaptation technologies that could better serve learners with different learning styles, (iii) the dynamic adaptation of the system and the diagnosis process including the identification of specific measures of learners’ observable behaviour which are indicative of learners’ learning style

Hybrid Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Recommender Accommodating User’s Learning Style and Web Page Features
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 کاملThe value of adaptivity based on cognitive style: an empirical study
Adaptive Hypermedia Systems can be developed to accommodate a variety of individual differences, including learning style and cognitive style . This study investigates the hypothesis that adaptive hypermedia accommodating cognitive styles can be beneficial for the observed learning outcomes . A prototype system, designed to be adapted to individual cognitive styles, was developed as a case stud...
متن کاملGender-Biased Adaptations in Educational Adaptive Hypermedia
Studies (for instance, [1, 2]) show that there is a statistically relevant gender difference in computer usage. In this paper we address the question of what are the causes of this problem and how it can be relieved by adaptive means. In trying to design systems that are sensitive to individual differences there is a dilemma – how can you make the system behave in a way appropriate for each ind...

This chapter tackles the issue of how it is possible to integrate individual differences in the learning design of Web-based collaborative learning experiences. In particular, in online collaborative learning environments, it is quite common to adopt techniques to support collaboration and interactions among peers. This contribution proposes to monitor the enactment of the collaborative techniq...
متن کاملAdaptive Hypermedia Systems: A review of adaptivity variables
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.
