Authoring Adaptive Courses: ALE Approach

Abstract

Currently there are just a few adaptive hypermedia authoring tools oriented to education. We develop one of them: the Adaptive Learning Environment (ALE), which has been already used by several universities in the area of design and architecture. We present an approach to supporting the authoring process in the case of adaptive (educational) hypermedia. We describe the representation of content materials, of knowledge about the domain as well as about the student, and interconnection of the knowledge with the materials; consider support of template-based authoring; and, finally, explain which adaptation strategies we implement.
