Designing an adaptive hypermedia system based on the use of psycho pedagogical criteria
Résumé
This article discusses the theory of psycho-educational criteria of
the learner as a means of hypermedia educational system
adaptation. To measure learning preferences, several adaptive
systems take into account individual differences particularly, the
"learning style" and "style of thought". These concepts refer to a
set of pipes and strategies on how to manage and organize
information. However, there is still several challenges to deal
with such as those related to the identification of the used styles
and their specification. In our approach, we measure the
performance of a learner with regard to the learning objectives
while integrating the characteristics of the model proposed by
Felder to describe the learning style of the learner. Moreover, we
use the features defined by the HBDI model to infer the style of
thought of the learner. We consider that the content and teaching
strategy proposed match the learner’s style when its performance
factor is satisfactory. Otherwise, the course design is to be
adapted based on the tracks and paths of the learner.
