ADAPTIVE AUTHORING OF ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA TOWARDS, ROLE-BASED, ADAPTIVE AUTHORING

摘要

The paper proposes a method to improve authoring by displaying a simplified view of an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) system via a user role functionality matrix. Adaptive presentations are starting to appear in many applications, in education, but also beyond. For instance, the mobile phone world is increasingly applying adaptation to location, user, etc. However, a known bottle-neck in adaptation is the authoring process. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem, by building on top of the visualisation paradigm. More precisely, we propose a method to improve authoring by displaying a simplified view of the authoring process via a user-role functionality matrix (FM). We aim to implement this feature in PEAL (a strategy authoring tool) to evaluate the FM's usefulness in applying adaptations for diverse authors.
