We have previously developed a LAOS, a 5-layer adaptive authoring model for adaptive hypermedia, and LAG, a 3-layer adaptation model. Our primary goal is to integrate these two models and to reflect this integration as an extension of MOT, an on...

With the increasing usage of multimedia in education, videos in particular, the delivery of content becomes difficult on low bandwidth networks. Conversely, the authoring of adaptable courses is still very difficult and time-consuming and no...

Adaptive, personalized courses are an important ingredient for advanced learning environments. Previous research has shown that, as the process of creating such adaptive courses is a tedious one, we should not only provide adaptation catering for...

Now-a-days the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming essential for the rapid dissemination of information. In this context, Open and Distance Learning (ODL) has a growing role in effectively training people for active...

This paper reports on considerations about the common basic functions and components for building a collaborative authoring environment. We aim to specify and systematize the technological issues towards the future standardization of such...

Learning Management Systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, Sakai and Claroline focus on supporting the learning process at a fairly global level of courses and tests. Recent additions focus on interaction (discussion forums, chat rooms and wikis)....

This paper focuses on a vital aspect for educational adaptive hypermedia (AEH): the design. The proper design is the first step towards common design patterns, leading to better, semantically enhanced authoring systems for AEH. This can mean easier...

Designing an adaptive or adaptable educational hypermedia (AEH) is significantly more complex than designing a "conventional" educational hypermedia, since it involves a wider number of decisions, concerning the design of the learner model, the...

It is obvious that we all have different approaches to learning. Psychologists call these individual differences learning styles (LS). Researchers provide recommendations for possible instructional strategies to support some LS in educational...

This paper presents the main part of a project conducted at the University of Warwick regarding a tool for retrieving semantic web data and reusing the retrieved data in authoring Wikipedia pages. The goal of this tool is to enable semantic web...

This paper describes the use of adaptation patterns in the task of formulating standards for adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH) systems that is currently under investigation by the EU ADAPT project. Within this project, design dimensions for high ...

Semantic Web and Adaptive Hypermedia come from different backgrounds, but it turns out that actually, they can benefit from each other, and that their confluence can lead to synergistic effects. This encounter can influence several fields, among...

Discussion of the need for training in new information technologies focuses on the development of a distance education model for training teachers in computer literacy. Explains individual and collaborative learning support and the authoring module, ...
