Description/Abstract

This report presents the work involved in developing an adaptive website, JointZone that personalises student learning on the web. The work combined user modeling, domain modeling and adaptive hypermedia techniques to deliver a personalised web-based learning environment. The idea of keyword indexing and the site layout structure was used to model the domain giving a conceptual and structural representation of the content. The student model involves the novel idea of using effective reading speed to better gauge if a student has read a page. The project applied the combination of adaptive link hiding and link annotation on a fully functional website to present an adaptive web-based learning environment.
