International Workshop on Authoring of Adaptive and Adaptable (Educational) Hypermedia

Motivation

series of workshops: A3EH@AIED’05 ; A3EH@AH’04 ; A3EH@WBE’04 Authoring of AH is not trivial at all: • There is a strong need of high-level approaches, formalisms and tools that support and facilitate the description of reusable adaptive websites.

Recently: shift in interest; awareness: implementation-oriented approach would forever keep adaptive hypermedia away from the ‘layman’ author. • creator of AH cannot be expected to know all facets of this process • but can be reasonably trusted to be an expert in one of them. • It is therefore necessary to research and establish the components of an adaptive hypermedia system from an authoring perspective, catering for the different author personas that are required.

Reactions & Evaluations

Very well organized ++++ Interesting presentations, good quality Schedule tight, but kept on time Needed more time for discussions, presentations ++ • should be a full day workshop, should be spread over two sessions there are other systems using lingua franca too much info should be grouped by tool 3 rd Int.

Panel summary

“

Are there differences between A3EH authoring and A3H authoring

?”     

19 th

Panelists: Vincent Wade, Peter Brusilovsky, Marcus Specht, Alexandra Cristea; • chair: Rosa Carro A3H: more generic; A3EH + A3CH + … ?

Pro

A3EH as different from A3H: • Failure in the 90’: pedagogical strategiesx3; UM ≠ Student models, etc. motivation: instructional vs. investment, money; success measurement in education is difficult; good educational strategies are necessary; user treatment different: AH: cherished, AEH: challenged

Contra

(A3EH similar to A3H): • engineering p.o.v., same technologies & techniques; same structure as argument; companies have tons of content, AH have technologies; both sides can learn from each other; the basic methods may be the same for commercial, e.g., and educational authoring of AH, but 'the devil is in the details'; ingredients + recipes

Other issues (authoring ++)

: • we don't really have complete success stories,  this being maybe one of the reasons why it's not accepted in commerce; • adding flexibility increases complexity; academia ≠ the best application for AH • AH for ‘page turning’ is useless; future of authoring, such as rich activity-based scenarios (simulations, game-like adaptation), • what to do to support AH-methods (or IF to do something, if it's not old news), if we want standards also based on adaptivity or not, etc.
