A open model to define adaptive educational hypermedia systems based on learning technology specifications

This paper outlines an ongoing research focus on the definition of an open model to authoring adaptive educational hypermedia systems. The goal is to make it possible to design adaptive environments for any knowledge field, educational level, instructional design or learning style as well as giving the teachers the possibility of creating their own adaptive rules. Moreover, standardized metadata, namely IMS, is used to define the semantic of the elements and guarantee their reusability and interoperability.
