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...

with the advent of computer technology and educational software, hypermedia language learning materi-als made their way in foreign and second language classrooms. today the role of hypermedia in improv-ing communication skills is by no means deniable. this research aimed at investigating the effect of hy-permedia on the oral performance as well as the motivation of iranian efl learners. a prete...

Adaptation and personalization services of the information offered to the users in open e-learning environments are considered to be the turning point of recent research efforts. The “one-size-fits-all” approach has some important drawbacks, from the educational point of view. Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems in World Wide Web became a very active research field and the need of standardi...

In this paper we present the architecture of an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System, named INSPIRE. This particular system, throughout its interaction with the learner, dynamically generates lessons that gradually lead to the accomplishment of the learning goals selected by the learner. The lessons are generated according to the learner’s knowledge level, learning style and follow his/her pr...

In this paper we present an adaptive hypermedia webbased system called TIM (TIMe-Aware Adaptive Hypermedia System). The time is used as a part of the context model, which along with a user model constitutes a base for the adaptation to the user needs. We have proposed an extension of known adaptation techniques by means of the notion of time. Proposed extensions are based on the model of time, ...

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Doctor of Philosophy AN AGENT-BASED FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA by Christopher Paul Bailey The field of adaptive hypermedia is a little over a decade old. It has a rich history in a range of fields such as artificial intelligence, user modelling, intelligent tutoring systems and hypertext. Early adaptive hypermedia ...
