Adapting SME learning environments for adaptivity

There is a genuine demand for personalization and guidance in learning systems, as well as in general commercial learning systems for the WWW, and further, for the new, emerging Semantic Web. Some isolated attempts towards adaptation are being made without fully responding to this demand. However, systematic frameworks for adaptive content and behavior description are already available in the research on Adaptive Hypermedia (AH). Here we present a novel application of an Adaptive Hypermedia Authoring framework and its principles towards extending an existing SME authoring environment for e-learning, as well as some initial evaluation results.
