AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
Overall Plan• Site
– http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~acristea/AHRO07• Theory
– at lectures: 3x2 hours total– Theoretical exam at the end: 1hour 30minutes
• Practical tasks (only for those who passed theory)– Maurice Hendrix, [email protected] – General explanation: 3 hours– 2 Tasks: in groups / individual: 2x1.5 hours
• tasks will be given at lectures and explained again in detail before starting the actual group work
– Practical exam (1 hour) and questionnaires (50min)

1. Adaptive Hypermedia of the Past, Present and Future
AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
What is Adaptive Hypermedia?• Hypermedia
– different media types used in a single application (text, images, sound, video, …)
– non-linear structure with navigation through hyper-links
• Adaptive– application forms a model of the context in which it is used
(user, place, time, device, etc.)– application adapts to that context (can show different
information, different media, different links, etc.)– adaptation and user/ presentation modeling interact with
each other (or else we say the application is adaptable, not adaptive)
is more than the Web!!

Why AH?
• Problems with hypermedia applications:– information overload: no time or interest to process
all– excessive navigational freedom: “lost in
hyperspace” which links are relevant (for this user) ?
– comprehension: order (a.o.) may be relevant: what has the user seen before when reaching a certain node?
– presentation: what fits the user’s screen? how much network bandwidth and processing power is available?

– Education– Commerce– Government– others
• Adaptation types– Adaptive Help– Adaptive Search– Expert systems – AI– others

What can be adapted? – classical views
• Adaptive presentation:– change which information is shown– change how that information is shown
• Adaptive navigation support:– change which links are shown– change how these links are shown– change the link destinations

Example from 2L690• Before reading about Xanadu the URL page shows:
– …In Xanadu (a fully distributed hypertext system, developed by Ted Nelson at Brown University, from 1965 on) there was only one protocol, so that part could be missing.…
• After reading about Xanadu this becomes:– …
In Xanadu there was only one protocol, so that part could be missing.…

Adapt to what?
• User user model (UM)
• Goals goal model (GM)
• Domain domain model (DM)
• Environment presentation model (PM)
AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
Classical User Model: Overlay UM• user’s knowledge = subset of expert’s
knowledge
• goal of tutoring: to enlarge this subset.
• This model is particularly appropriate when the (teaching) material can be represented as a prerequisite hierarchy.
AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
Adapt to what (else)?• Knowledge about the subject domain (and
possibly also knowledge about the system)• Preferences• Interests • Learning or cognitive styles• Background: profession, language,
prospect, capabilities, experience, age• Navigation history
AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
Adapt to what?
• User user model (UM)
• Goals goal model (GM)
• Domain domain model (DM)
• Environment presentation model (PM)
AH&SW course Bucharest, Romania January 2007
Adapt to what?• Goal• (initial) purpose of the hypermedia• answer to question
– “Why should the user use the hypermedia system and what could the user actually achieve?”
• Goals can be local or global. – Local goals may changed quite often. For example, the
problem-solving goal is a local one, which changes from one educational problem to another several times within a session.
– Global goal can be the pedagogical / commercial goal.

Adapt to what?
• User user model (UM)
• Goals goal model (GM)
• Domain domain model (DM)
• Environment presentation model (PM)

• Context / environment– aspects of the user’s environment, like
browsing device, window size, network bandwidth, processing power, quality of service, etc.

Adaptation model
• How do the previous models interact (schematic model)
• The only dynamic part of the model
• Traditionally, a set of rules
