Abstract:

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 on similarity ‎between the interest profile of a user and those of others. However, it can lead to the gray-sheep problem, ‎in which users with consistently different opinions from the group do not benefit from this approach. On ‎this basis, matching the learner’s learning style with the web page features and mining specific attributes ‎is more desirable. The primary contribution of this research is to introduce a feature-based recommender ‎system that delivers educational web pages according to the user's individual learning style. We propose an ‎Educational Resource recommender system which interacts with the users based on their learning style ‎and cognitive traits. The learning style determination is based on Felder-Silverman theory. Furthermore, ‎we incorporate all explicit/implicit data features of a page and the elements contained in them that have an ‎influence on the quality of recommendation and help the system make more effective recommendations.‎

Accommodating learning style characteristics in Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems

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 ...

The Hybrid Model for Adaptive Educational Hypermedia

Web-based distance learning is becoming increasingly prevalent as the Internet permeates every aspect of our culture, and many educational content management systems are now in use on the web. However, learners’ experiences of these systems are almost invariably static, with information being delivered regardless of their background or knowledge. Due to variation between learners’, it is sugges...

Learning Design in Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems

After more than ten years of research aiming at defining methods and techniques to deliver personalized instruction, Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems have not made the jump into real practice systems. Reasons for this include the complexity of their development, their use of exclusive methods for defining adaptivity and educational elements, and their lack of interoperation amongst cours...

Applying Recommender Systems and Adaptive Hypermedia for e-Learning Personalizatio

Learners learn differently because they are different – and they grow more distinctive as they mature. Personalized learning occurs when e-learning systems make deliberate efforts to design educational experiences that fit the needs, goals, talents, and interests of their learners. Researchers had recently begun to investigate various techniques to help teachers improve e-learning systems. In t...

Adaptive features of a hypermedia system using bookmark per Web page

In this paper, we present a technique called bookmark per Web page by which users can build a new link structure in a hypermedia. It allows users to create their own links for Web pages. Our aim is to provide an adaptive hypermedia with additional adaptive features by considering properties which the author of the hyperspace did not provide when the hyperspace was designed. In addition, a gener...
