The deployment and use of Artificially Intelligent tools and techniques has proved to be effective and convenient, rendering them highly popular and desirable within any application. The benefits that such smart services provide are increasingly becoming popular within virtual learning environments as educators and learners continue to revert to such online portals during the academic process of higher education programmes. However, numerous educators have been sceptical of the inferences made by the machine learning techniques that implicitly at the background of the learning environment are monitoring the learner and collecting data to optimize the educational process as well as the learning experience. In an effort to enhance such a credibility we present an intelligent learning environment that justifies its decisions and propositions through an explainable interface that tracks back its conclusions to reasonable and plausible justifications. In this paper we present our researc...

This report presents the work involved in developing an adaptive web site, 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 web site to present an adaptive web-based learning environment.

This paper is about PCMAT, an adaptive learning platform for Mathematics in Basic Education schools. Based on a constructivist approach, PCMAT aims at verifying how techniques from adaptive hypermedia systems can improve elearning based systems. To achieve this goal, PCMAT includes a Pedagogical Model that contains a set of adaptation rules that influence the student-platform interaction. PCMAT was subject to a preliminary testing with students aged between 12 and 14 years old on the subject of direct proportionality. The results from this preliminary test are quite promising as they seem to demonstrate the validity of our proposal.

The aim of this paper is presenting the recommendation module of the Mathematics Collaborative Learning Platform (PCMAT). PCMAT is an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System (AEHS), with a constructivist approach, which presents contents and activities adapted to the characteristics and learning style of students of mathematics in basic schools. The recommendation module is responsible for choosing different learning resources for the platform, based on the user's characteristics and performance. Since the main purpose of an adaptive system is to provide the user with content and interface adaptation, the recommendation module is integral to PCMAT's adaptation model.

The purpose of this paper is to present the current state and future development of the PLATINEA project. This project allows students and teachers to create and to consolidate knowledge in an autonomous form, with permanent automatic feedback and support. With this platform we propose to invert the current pedagogical model (transmitting information > practicing > assessing). Students' knowledge is permanently evaluated and they receive information adapted, in scope, content and media, to the detected need in that moment. This platform introduces also new requirements in the way content information is stored and searched, especially on the contextual definition of learning objects.

Our objective is the creation of a better, more adequate adaptation model that takes into account the complexities of different users.

2025, O PARADIGMA DA COMPLEXIDADE E A TEORIA KOSMOS

Resumo: Este trabalho explora a Teoria Kosmos à luz do Paradigma da Complexidade, articulando contribuições de Prigogine, Morin, Lupasco, Penrose-Hameroff e Pereira Jr. A proposta parte da concepção de que a realidade é composta por sistemas dinâmicos, auto-organizativos e irreversíveis, cujo comportamento é melhor descrito por uma lógica não-clássica, tal como a lógica do terceiro incluído de Lupasco. No contexto da Teoria Kosmos, a consciência é concebida como um fenômeno quântico-macroscópico emergente a partir do acoplamento entre dois universos espelho com estrutura AdS/CFT, interligados por uma topologia de garrafa de Klein. Esse acoplamento dá origem a um campo mental holográfico, cuja flutuação engendra o Eu Fenomenal Unitário (EFU)correlato físico da consciência encarnada, inspirado no "corpo vivido" de Merleau-Ponty. O modelo integra ainda a teoria Orch OR de Penrose-Hameroff e o Monismo de Triplo Aspecto de Pereira Jr., propondo uma abordagem interdisciplinar que unifica física quântica, biologia, fenomenologia e psicologia profunda. Por meio dessa síntese, a Teoria Kosmos oferece um novo paradigma psicofísico e cosmológico para a compreensão da consciência como uma dimensão fundamental da realidade.

The use of SNS sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, has grown exponentially in recent years (Golbeck, 2008a; Shneiderman & Preece, 2007), as people build Internet-based networks that reflect their own communication networks (Manjoo, 2009). As the number of users grows and the functionality of these networks expands, SNS have emerged as a practical tool for use in emergency management (White et al., 2009). As the nation watched the rising river threatening Fargo on March 28, 2009, President Obama called attention to this utility, "young people have turned social networks into community networks, coordinating with one another online to figure out how best to help" (Obama, 2009). Similarly, citizens have used internet networks

Abstract-----Present vision for the web is the semantic web in which information is given explicit meaning, making it easier for machines to automatically process and integrate information available on the web. It provides the information exactly. Now days, ontology is playing a major role in knowledge representation for the semantic web [1]. Ontology is a conceptualization of domain into a human understandable and machine readable or machine process able format consisting of entities, attributes, relationships and axioms. Ontology web language is designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information [22]. In this context many e-learning systems were proposed in the literature. Semantic Web technology may support more advanced Artificial intelligence problems for knowledge retrieval [20]. This paper aims at presenting an intelligent e-learning system from the literature. Keywords-Semantic web; e-learning; Ontology Web Language (OWL); Ontology; OWL-S Servic...

In the educational hypermedia domain, adaptive systems try to adapt educational materials according to the required properties of a user. The adaptability of these systems becomes more effective once the system has the knowledge about how a student can learn better. Studies suggest that, for effective personalization, one of the important features is to know precisely the learning style of a student. However, learning styles are dynamic and may vary domain-wise. To address such aspects of learning styles, we have proposed a computationally efficient solution that considers the dynamic and nondeterministic nature of learning styles, effect of the subject domain, and nonstationary aspect during the learning process. The proposed model is novel, robust, and flexible to optimize students’ domain-wise learning style preferences for better content adaptation. We have developed a web-based experimental prototype for assessment and validation. The proposed model is compared with the existin...

This paper is a contribution to the modelling of adaptive hypermedia. The main feature of such a system is able to construct its adaptive behaviour easily. It is based on the concept of the active rule (Event-Condition-Action). The advantage of this concept resides in the integration of all existing adaptation techniques in the system. Furthermore, this system allows introducing new adaptation strategies easily. The system architecture consists of three main parts: first the traditional hypermedia subsystem that contains the navigational model, the interface model, and the multimedia resources; second the adaptive subsystem that contains the user model, the semantic network model, the events analyser, and the adaptive behaviour specification entity; third the tasks model which contain the strategic rules bases associated with the adaptive behaviour specification entity, the navigational rules bases associated with the navigational model, and the interface rules bases associated with the interface model.

Although a number of frameworks exist for the evaluation of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS), recently suggested layered frameworks have proved useful in identifying the exact cause of the adaptation failure or any other error in the system. This paper presents an evaluation framework for AHS for internet which is an extension of the layered frameworks and adds new dimensions to them. It treats evaluation as an integral part of development process of AHS and also evaluates the successful access of AHS on the internet. The framework has four dimensions which are orthogonal to each other -Environment -the environment in which AHS is accessed, Adaptation -the type of adaptation used, Development Process -software engineering life cycle steps used for developing AHS and the Evaluation Modules -the layers of AHS which are evaluated in context of other dimensions. We are in the process of developing and evaluating an adaptive tutoring system with the authoring tool AHA using this framework where analysis phase has checklists and set of goals prepared according to the requirements. Metrics largely are being used during design, implementation and maintenance phases for the purpose of evaluation. The results of this study will be reported later on.

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa lakes are popular for water sport activity. Thus, it is important to keep the health of the lakes at an acceptable level for the optimum usage of water sport activity. The water quality index is used to assess the water quality condition of the lakes. Water quality index (WQI) and interim national water quality standards (INWQS) for Malaysia are used to monitor the health of the lakes. A total of two sample stations were collected at Lake 1 and Lake 2 of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. Six selected parameters (biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended solid and ammoniacal nitrogen) were used to calculate the water quality index. From the analysis, it showed that both Lake 1 and Lake 2 are Class II condition and visitors can use it for water sport activity. Several recommendations are noted to improve the WQI value for the use of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa visitors especially for water sport activity.

2025, ACM Conference on Hypertext

With the growing size, complexity and heterogeneity of current hypermedia systems, especially the World Wide Web, comes the need to provide more flexible mechanisms for delivering information to the user. That is, we require mechanisms which can modify documents on-the-fly in order to take the user's needs into account. Static hypertext documents suffer from an inability to be all things to all people; document and multimedia authors must write multiple documents for different users rather than a single document which can dynamicallY modify its content in order to address a particular user's knowledge or the context of delivery. A possible remedy for the negative effects of the traditional "one-size-fits-all" approach in the development of hypermedia systems is to equip them with the ability to adapt to the needs of their individual users. A possible way for achieving adaptivity is by modeling the users and tailoring the system's interactions to their goals, tasks and interests. In this sense, the notion of adaptive hypertext/hypermedia means a hypertext or hypermedia system which reflects some features of the user and/or characteristics of his/her system usage in a user model, and utilizes this model in order to adapt various aspects of the system's output to the user. This workshop was intended as an inter-disciplinary exploration into adaptive hypertext and other kinds of flexible hypertext systems. It aimed to draw together a number of research groups taking different approaches to adaptive and flexible hypertext systems, in order to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and highlight the prospects for future collaboration. The target research areas for the second Adaptive Hypertext and Hypermedia workshop include:

Adaptive hypermedia is a new direction of research within the area of adaptive and user model-based interfaces. Adaptive hypermedia (AH) systems build a model of the individual user and apply it for adaptation to that user, for example, to adapt the content of a hypermedia page to the user's knowledge and goals, or to suggest the most relevant links to follow. AH systems are used now in several application areas where the hyperspace is reasonably large and where a hypermedia application is expected to be used by individuals with different goals, knowledge and backgrounds. This paper is a review of existing work on adaptive hypermedia. The paper is centered around a set of identified methods and techniques of AH. It introduces several dimensions of classification of AH systems, methods and techniques and describes the most important of them.

Conventional closed-corpus adaptive information systems control limited sets of documents in predefined domains and cannot provide access to the external content. Such restrictions contradict the requirements of today, when most of the information systems are implemented in the open document space of the World Wide Web and are expected to operate on t he opencorpus content. In order to provide personalized access to open-corpus documents, an adaptive system should be able to maintain modeling of new documents in terms of domain knowledge automatically and dynamically. This dissertation explores the problem of open-corpus personalization and semantic modeling of open-corpus content in the context of e-Learning. Information on the World Wide Web is not without structure. Many collections of online instructional material (tutorials, electronic books, digital libraries, etc.) have been provided with implicit knowledge models encoded in form of tables of content, indexes, headers of chapters, links between pages, and different styles of text fragments. The main dissertation approach tries to leverage this layer of hidden semantics by extracting and representing it as coarse-grained models of content collections. A central domain ontology is used to maintain overlay modeling of students' knowledge and serves as a reference point for multiple collections of external instructional material. In order to establish the link between the ontology and the open-corpus content models a special ontology mapping algorithm has been developed. v The proposed approach has been applied in the Ontology-based Open-corpus Personalization Service that recommends and adaptively annotates online reading material. The domain of Java programming has been chosen for the proof-of-concept implementation. A controlled experiment has been organized to evaluate the developed adaptive system and the proposed approach overall. The results of the evaluation have demonstrated several significant learning effects of the implemented open-corpus personalization. The analysis of log-based data has also shown that the open-corpus version of the system is capable of providing personalization of similar quality to the close-corpus one. Such results indicate that the proposed approach successfully supports open-corpus personalization for e-Learning. Further research is required to verify if the approach remains effective in other subject domains and with other types of instructional content.

Adaptive Hypermedia has emerged as an important area of both academic and deployed research. It encompasses a broad range of research that will enable personalized, adaptive hypermedia systems to play an even more effective role in people's lives. The Web has enabled the widespread use of many personalized systems, such as recommenders, personalized filters and retrieval systems, e-learning systems and various forms of collaborative systems. Such systems have been widely deployed in diverse domains such as e-Commerce, e-Health, e-Government, digital libraries, personalized travel planning as well as tourist and cultural heritage services. They are particularly promising for users with special needs. The exciting possibilities of such deployed adaptive hypermedia systems rely on research progress in a broad range of areas such as: user profiling and modeling; acquisition, updating and management of user models; group modeling and community-based profiling; recommender systems and recommendation strategies; data mining for personalization; the Semantic Web; adaptive multimedia content authoring and delivery; ubiquitous computing environments and Smart Spaces; personalization for the plethora of mobile devices, such as PDAs, mobile phones and other hand-held devices; and pragmatics such as privacy, trust and security. Empirical studies of adaptive hypermedia and Web systems are also critical to informing future directions. The Adaptive Hypermedia conferences have become the major forums for the scientific exchange and presentation of research results on adaptive hypermedia and adaptive Web-based systems. The field emerged from a series of successful workshops which matured into the conferences, starting with Adaptive Hyper-

Forty-eight college students participated in an ABAB analysis; the A condition was online study groups and the B condition was individual online quizzes. The effect of A and B on student satisfaction and achievement was determined. The Index of Learning Styles categorized students on four dimensions of learning style (active-reflective, visual-verbal, sequential-global, sensing-intuitive). Active learners expressed preference for face-to-face study groups rather than online study groups and for online quizzes rather than pencil-and-paper quizzes. Visual learners expressed preference for online quizzes rather than online study groups. Such preferences were validated by decreased achievement under the online study group condition. At the college level, students are aware of their learning style and the conditions that facilitate their learning.

This paper presents the learner-controlled adaptive group formation technique offered by the web-based adaptive educational hypermedia system MATHEMA. More specifically, this paper describes why we take into consideration the group effectiveness, concerning the concrete-abstract dimension of learners' learning style, in forming learner groups and how the adaptive group formation algorithm generates a priority list of possible matching candidate collaborators for a certain student, taking into account the abstract or concrete dimension of his/her learning style and his/her possible candidate collaborators' learning style and knowledge level on the current learning goal as well. Moreover, the paper describes how the algorithm supports the learners in selecting the most suitable collaborator, and how it automatically links them up via a chat tool with the aim of negotiating a collaboration agreement. An evaluation of the adaptive group formation of our system indicated that it ...

This paper describes the interactive problem solving support offered by our adaptive educational hypermedia system called MATHEMA. The general goal of the MATHEMA is the support of senior high school students or the beginners of higher education, through an interactive and constructivist environment, in learning physics (electromagnetism) individually and/or collaboratively, and to overcome their possible misconceptions and learning difficulties. Initially, a review of related work about the implemented AEHS/ITS and the didactic design principles of the MATHEMA are presented. Through the interactive problem solving, the system supports the students in solving electromagnetism problems, individually and/or collaboratively, by following an activity that is based on the experimentation with simulations, explorations, guided discovery, and collaboration didactic approaches. An experimental study with senior high school students showed that they improve their performances when following this activity. A questionnaire that we gave to the students to express their opinion about our system helped us to improve the quality of the courses.

x THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS demanded -will differ from the present one. They will have, on the one hand, to include selections from the rich material of poetry, myth, usage of language, and folklore, and, on the other hand, to treat more profoundly the relations of the dream to the neuroses and to mental diseases. Mr. Otto Rank has rendered me valuable service in the selection of the addenda and in reading the proof sheets. I am gratefully indebted to him and to many others for their contributions and corrections. Vienna, Spring of 1911. * Translated by A. A.

Considered apart from its practical aim, the book presents much that is of interest to the psychologist and the general reader. For, notwithstanding the fact that dreams have of late years been the subject of investigation at the hands of many competent observers, only few have contributed anything tangible towards their solution ; it was Freud who divested the dream of its mystery, and solved its riddles. He not only showed us that the dream is full of meaning, but amply demonstrated that it is intimately connected with normal and abnormal mental life. It is in the treatment of the abnormal mental states that we must recognise the most important value of dream interpretation. The dream does not only reveal to us the cryptic mechanisms of hallucinations, delusions, phobias, obsessions, and other psychopathological conditions, but it is also the most potent instrument in the removal of these.* I take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness to Professor F. C. Prescott for reading the manuscript and for helping me overcome the almost insurmountable difficulties in the translation. A. A. BRILL.

This chapter describes the user-centered design approach we adopted in the development and evaluation of an adaptive Web site. The development of usable Web sites, offering easy and efficient services to heterogeneous users, is a hot topic and a challenging issue for adaptive hypermedia and human-computer interaction. User-centered design promises to facilitate this task by guiding system designers in making decisions, which take the user's needs in serious account. Within a recent project funded by the Italian Public Administration, we developed a prototype information system supporting the online search of data about water resources. As the system was targeted to different types of users, including generic citizens and specialized technicians, we adopted a user-centered approach to identify their information needs and interaction requirements. Moreover, we applied query analysis techniques to identify further information needs and speed up the data retrieval activity. In this chapter, we describe the requirements analysis, the system design, and its evaluation.

With last achievements in research and practical development of adaptive hypermedia systems, they start being more and more promising for e-learning adaptable to personal learner needs, style and performance. Every year there are constructed new technology enhanced platforms with adaptation engines controlling content management and delivery. A great problem with adaptation engine designs is that few of them facilitate a flexible and manageable control over adaptation processes. This paper is focussed exactly on problems with effective conceptual construction of adaptation engine, by means of formalization of our adaptation model for hypermedia learning courseware management and delivery. The article describes in brief a formal definition of both adaptive rules and adaptive process supporting the model. The approach proposed for adaptive engine's construction follows a rule-driven approach and is consistent with that formalization. The implementation of the platform is under development and relies strongly on conceptual separation of adaptive rules from business logic. This guarantees an ability for editing adaptive rules at run time and, thus, to manage the adaptation process in a very flexible way. There are various well-established ways for ensuring adaptation. Following them, the adaptation engine 327

In last twenty years, researchers have conducted intensive research in the area of principal models, software architectures and practical system development of adaptive e-learning platforms. Brains are fascinated by great opportunities for radical improvement of the teaching process by means of applying adaptability at different levels. There are two general issues of adaptive e-learningenabling different educational content delivered to different individuals or groups and, as well, differently formed sequencing and presentation of that content delivery. This paper presents two approaches for creating and delivering training courses adaptable to learners with different learning styles. The first one is implemented within a platform for building edutainment (education plus entertainment) services called ADOPTA (ADaptive technOlogyenhanced Platform for eduTAinment). By means of ADOPTA, e-learning courses can be created manually by an instructor as directed storyboard graphs. Another feasible approach is to generate them automatically on-the-fly by the adaptive engine.
