"Pluggable" user models for adaptive hypermedia in education

Most adaptive hypermedia systems used in education implement a single user model – inevitably originally designed for a specific set of circumstances. In this paper we describe an architecture that makes use of XML pipelines to facilitate the implementation of different user models. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.4 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Hypertext/Hypermedia – architectures, navigation, theory, user issues. General Terms Design, Experimentation, Human Factors. Keywords Adaptive hypermedia, education, system architecture, user modeling, XML, XSLT.
