Abstract: | We have developed an adaptive hypertext system designed to individually support exploratory learning and programming activities in the domain of Common Lisp. Endowed with domain-specific knowledge represented in a hyperspace of topics, the system builds up a detailed model of the user's expertise which it utilizes to provide personalized assistance. Unlike other work emerging in the field of adaptive hypertext systems, our approach exploits domain and user modelling techniques to support individuals in different ways. The system not only generates individualized presentations of topic nodes, but also provides adaptive navigational assistance for link-based browsing. By identifying and suggesting useful hyperlinks according to the user's knowledge state and preferences, the system encourages and guides exploration. While browsing through the hyperspace of topics, the system analyses the user's navigational behaviour to infer the user's learning progress and to dynamically adapt presentations of topics and links accordingly. |
