Adaptive hypermedia system in education: review of available technologies

Abstract

Adaptive hypermedia system is a result from research on adaptive hypermedia and user modeling. This system is divided into different types. There are educational hypermedia, on-line-help systems, information retrieval hypermedia, institutional hypermedia, and systems for managing personalized views in information spaces. Adaptive hypermedia systems build model of the goals, preferences and knowledge of each individual user, and use this model throughout the interaction with the user, in order to adapt to the needs of that user. The goal of this paper is to present literature review of adaptive educational hypermedia systems including the architecture, approaches and techniques involved in building it.
