Web can be viewed as a promising learning platform that facilitates self-directed learning with hypermedia/hypertext-based learning resources. In particular, learners can deeply learn about a certain topic by navigating a number of learning resources dealing with the topic, and can navigate the Web pages to construct their own knowledge from the contents of the navigated pages. This paper discusses how to design an intelligent self-directed learning platform that enables the learning resource navigation and page navigation in a fruitful way. We also propose a framework for such platform called LearningBench, which consists of digital library and navigation process viewers.
