SUMMARY The paper focuses on the instructional and interface design adopted in the Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System INSPIRE-INtelligent System for Personalized Instruction in a Remote Environment. INSPIRE dynamically generates lessons accommodating diversity in learners’ knowledge background, preferences and progress, and supports end-learner modifiability. The design of the interface supports the notion of the system as a coach on the learning process. The way the interface is embodied in the instructional strategy adopted in INSPIRE is described. An experimental study of the system is presented, which assesses students’ attitudes towards the proposed design.
