Abstract:
The nature of adaptive multimedia presentation system within an e-learning environment is considered and the ability of such a system to add and remove fragments of a presentation discussed. The advantages and drawbacks of using learning objects are described and the ability to map an object to additional data identified as a means to provide links to other objects. The practical design of an adaptive E-Learning system is then considered by first referencing two open source systems, (AHA and MOT), and then considering the requirements of a prototype system. The principle components of such a system are identified and the system structure outlined. Relationships between principle entities in a presentation database are then discussed with the emphasis on adapting the content of the presentation by providing more or less detail. Links between learning segments are then discussed leading to consideration of the different types of link and how this is likely to affect the user experience. Finally, future issues are discussed leading to a consideration of the topics that would need to be evaluated in the use of the prototype system.
