instructional design and interaction style for educational adaptive hypermedia
Learning styles have been attracting the attention of many researchers in educational adaptive hypermedia. We define educational adaptive hypermedia as a learning system designed to tailor online presentations of content for individuals over time. The general approach is based on learning styles psychometric instruments to categorize students and adapt the system accordingly. However, the validity of such assessment instruments is questionable, which might compromise the whole adaptation process. We investigate a cyclical instructional design able to satisfy different learning styles. Observing individuals' interaction styles with this learning cycle revealed to us some hints on how to personalize lessons so that individual learning is improved.
