This site describes the AdaptWeb®
Project. The Project goal is to provide adaptive
educational contents, personalized according to different
courses and student profile. The first beta version,
implemented in PHP and MySQL is available. Hypermedia
teaching applications apply guided or suggested
navigation, hierarchical contents presentation, and
sequential deterministic presentations among others
educational techniques. These techniques are usually
applied for all the students in a standard way. However,
different students have different cognitive learning
styles and presentation preferences, which imply the use
of different teaching strategies and presentation
resources. Also, the same basic content may be offered in
different courses, with differences in complexity (e.g.:
theorem demonstration or theorem presentation only),
content sequence, examples, and complementary educational
information. In addition, the same content may be
presented in different ways. The AdaptWeb®
current version contemplates different courses contents
and student presentation's preferences. The software
provides syllabus generation, with run-time adaptation to
student's course and preference. Cognitive learning style
adaptation will be added to a next version.
