Towards an adaptive hypermedia component for an intelligent learning environment

Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of integration of hypermedia and Intelligent Learning Environments (ILEs) technologies and the problem of creating an adaptive hypermedia component for ILEs. Our experience of creating an adaptive on-line help facilities for ITEM/IP system is described. This experience forms a background for our hypermedia work and provides some good ideas for it. We also present our approach to integration of a hypermedia component into internal structure of ILE and illustrate it with two examples of adaptive hypermedia components for the most recent versions of our ILEs ISIS-Tutor and ITEM/PG. Finally, we summarize main features of this approach, provide some references to related works, and consider some issues of adaptive hypermedia in general.
