4 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!!

6 The need for personalization

7 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?

11 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

12 Adaptive Presentation

13 Adaptive Navigation Support

14 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. …

15 ISIS Tutor with Link Annotation The wrong example:

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

21 User modelling is always about guessing …

22 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.

23

24 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

25 User model population (initialization) ex. Concept1 Concept2 Concept3 Knowledge: 0 Knowledge: 10 Knowledge: 20 Interest: 50 Age group: 10 years Learning style: unknown overlayfree

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

27 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.

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

29 Adapt to what? Adapt to Domain model properties

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

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

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

42 New IAS projects on this Grapple (ALS Minerva project) (Prolearn)

43 GRAPPLE project in shortissimo Generic Responsive Adaptive Personalized Learning Environment http://www.grapple-project.org/contact-info Main aim: how to bring adaptivity in extant LMS –standards –Sakai, Moodle –‘ready to use’ 14 institutes representing 9 countries 3 years; started on the 1 st of February 2008

44 ALS project in shortissimo Adaptive Learning Spaces Main aim: how to bring adaptivity at group level? –What changes? –Group of learners –Group of authors 8 institutes representing 7 countries 2.5 years; started on the 1 st of October 2006 Finished 30 th of April 2009

45 PROLEARN project in shortissimo Finished 31 st December 2007 NoE: they bring birds of a feather together Warwick as new core partner from 1 st January 2007 http://www.prolearn-project.org/ 21 core partners now Hundreds of associate partners (Warwick included)

46 Reading: read chapters 'The Adaptive Web': –Adaptive Content Presentation, –Adaptive Navigation Support, –Open Corpus AEH, –Privacy-Enhanced Web Personalization, –Usability Engineering for Adaptive Web From: http://www.springerlink.com/content/x646782t 122p/ http://www.springerlink.com/content/x646782t 122p/
