A Personalisation Framework for Advanced Learning Technology

This paper focuses on ownership transfer via personalisation as a value-adding strategy for advanced learning technology. It contributes an approach to endowing hyperlink-based systems (e.g., for learning) with features that enable the personalisation of the interactions between users and the system that embodies the learning material. A framework for the personalisation of hyperdocuments is defined that aims to make available to users of, e.g., electronic learning materials, features that allow them to interact with these documents in a manner much closer to that of owners of paper-based ones, while still benefitting from the ability to traverse contextual links and to exploit the computational environment in which the material is embedded.
