Abstract :
This paper discusses a need to provide adaptive navigation support for students accessing large numbers of interactive examples in Web-enhanced education. We introduce the system NavEx that is able to provide adaptive annotation of programming examples without any need of manual indexing. NavEx uses innovative algorithms for prerequisite/outcome indexing of learning material and an efficient knowledge-based approach for adaptive annotation.
