Adaptive Instruction in Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Systems
Spyros Panetsos, Konstantinos M. Siassiakos, Athina A. Lazakidou · 2006
Abstract:- In this paper we focus on adaptive instruction and especially on the educational perspective that should underlie the development of web-based Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) systems used for Internet-based distance education. A design rational and guidelines are proposed for adaptive instruction in the context of AEH systems, which unify several processes that formulate system’s adaptation such as structuring the domain knowledge, developing the content, planning individualised instruction and support, assessment, and learner control opportunities. The main aim of this approach is to incorporate a variety of pedagogical models and learning theories in order to accommodate the diversity needs and perspectives of learners and teachers. Paradigms of the way these guidelines have been implemented mainly in AEH systems, are provided.
