19 th of July, rd Int. Workshop on Authoring of Adaptive and Adaptable Educational Hypermedia, AIED’05, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Motivation series of workshops: series of workshops: Authoring of AH is not trivial at all: Authoring of AH is not trivial at all: There is a strong need of high-level approaches, formalisms and tools that support and facilitate the description of reusable adaptive websites.There is a strong need of high-level approaches, formalisms and tools that support and facilitate the description of reusable adaptive websites. Recently: shift in interest; awareness: implementation-oriented approach would forever keep adaptive hypermedia away from the ‘layman’ author.

It is therefore necessary to research and establish the components of an adaptive hypermedia system from an authoring perspective, catering for the different author personas that are required.It is therefore necessary to research and establish the components of an adaptive hypermedia system from an authoring perspective, catering for the different author personas that are required.
