Description
Summary:There are two main methods for implementing adaptivity in intelligent web-based learning systems: adaptive presentation (or content-level adaptation) and adaptive navigation support (or link-level adaptation). In the systems that use an adaptive presentation method, the content of an adaptive hypermedia page is generated or assembled from pieces according to the user’s background and knowledge state. In such the page, narrowed and detailed deep information (in forms of multimedia or text) is provided for advanced users, while broader and less deep additional explanation is provided for novices. Adaptive navigation support is a method of helping users to find their paths of learning in hypermedia systems by adapting the way of presenting links to goals, knowledge, and preferences of individual users. It consists of all methods of altering visible links to support hyperspace navigation. Some technologies were distinguished from the points of view according to the way they adapt presentation of links: direct guidance, link sorting, link hiding, link annotation, link generation, and map adaptation. Based on recent research and applications, this simple taxonomy is developed further.
