Designer adaptation in adaptive hypermedia authoring

Recently, the importance of creating authoring support for adaptive hypermedia system design offering multimodality and personalization is becoming evident. In the process of designing such authoring support, we discovered that given the difficulty of adaptive hypermedia authoring, i.e., in designing different levels of abstraction, alternatives, multiple links, etc., it would be beneficial to also attend to the authoring needs and adapt to the author. Therefore, this paper describes for the first time an attempt of adaptation not only to the student, but also to the designer.
