Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop and compare two different techniques of adaptive presentation techniques (adaptive multimedia/ frames). Moreover, this study aimed at investigating the effect of both treatments on improving learning outcomes. The participants are two experimental groups: Group A (n = 35) were taught content through the multimedia-based technique, and group B (n = 35) were taught content through the frame-based technique. The results showed that the adaptive presentation techniques have an effect on enhancing students’ learning outcomes. Also, the comparison of the techniques showed a significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups in favor of group A. The study concluded that the adaptive multimedia-based technique showed higher impact relatively than the frame-based technique. In light of these results, it is recommended that an expansion of the use of web-based adaptive presentation techniques WAPT for enhancing students’ learning in higher education is needed.
Highlights
Adaptation of learning environments has recently become essential for confronting the differences between the students in their needs, preferences, and learning styles
Adaptive learning is helpful for the reduction of information overload which is frequently experienced on the Internet or any other information system (Knutov, De Bra & Pechenizkiy, 2009)
Joseph, and Ligadu (2013) developed a web-based adaptive hypermedia system, and the results show that students who used the adaptive system have shown an improvement in their overall academic assessments
Summary
Adaptation of learning environments has recently become essential for confronting the differences between the students in their needs, preferences, and learning styles. Adaptive web-based system can help the student obtain information in a form that fits the students’ characteristics and fulfills the user’s real needs automatically over the web (Lo, Chan & Yeh, 2012). The adaptive learning refers to the customization of the learning system by dynamically making adjustments based on learners’ preferences and learning styles (Somyürek, 2015). It presents instructors with the possibility of providing learning opportunities tailored to each student’s individual needs. Adaptive learning provides educators with the opportunities to develop their learning strategies. It may contribute to improving students’ learning outcomes (Ross et al 2018)
