1. International Workshop Authoring of Adaptive and Adaptable Educational Hypermedia AH04 Conference PANEL SESSION Which research agenda for adaptive/adaptable educational hypermedia authoring?

2. GOAL of the panel With the contribution of the panelists and all workshop partecipans, to identify some hot issues that are particularly relevant for current and future research on authoring AEHs

3. Panel structure Two rounds of questions and discussions Wrap up –Conclusions –Future plans

4. PANELISTS Actual lst............... MODERATORS Alexandra Cristea and Franca Garzotto

5. What are panelists expected to do? FIRST ROUND pick one of the panel hot issues (see next slides) that they rank as particularly relevant for research in AEH authoring field comment about it Or Integrate the hot issue list with additional topic comment about it SECOND ROUND Discuss/contrast other panelists opinions Propose concrete research actions

6. HOT ISSUES for the panelists Organized along four main dimensions: CONCEPTUAL TOOLS to support the design and authoring process DEVELOPMENT/IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS for building AEH CONTRIBUTIONS/SUPPORT from other disciplines EVALUATION and ACCEPTABILITY (of conceptual and development tools): which FACTORS TO MEASURE OR PROMOTE, and HOW?

7. HOT ISSUES: (this slide should be distributed to all participants and the audience) CONCEPTUAL TOOLS for AEH authoring –Design methodologies –Application models –Modeling standards –Patterns (for application design, for implementation design, for authoring systems architecture) –..... DEVELOPMENT/IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS for building AEH –Application Design methodologies –Application models and Modeling standards –Implementation standards –Architecture standdards –Patterns (for application design, for implementation design, for system architecture) –..... CONTRIBUTIONS/SUPPORT from other disciplines –Pedagogy, instructional design and cognitive sciences –HCI –Artificial intelligence –Semantic web –Collaborative systems –Web engineering –.... EVALUATION and ACCEPTABILITY: which FACTORS TO MEASURE OR PROMOTE, and HOW? –For the conceptual tools (usability, effectiveness,.....) –For the development tools (usability, effectiveness, interoperability,....) –For the artifacts built using the tools (usability, educational impact, portability and interoperability...)
