چکیده
Adaptive navigation support normally attempts to make selecting a relevant hyperlink as easy as possible. However, in educational applications, this may have negative learning effects since selecting a link is sometimes an important educational problem for the student to solve. To provide appropriate scaffolding to students, it is necessary to understand how they navigate in hypermedia sites. By grouping students with similar conceptual (mis)understanding we were able to uncover a small set of characteristic navigation patterns, and to demonstrate that students with similar conceptual understanding have similar navigation patterns.
