Enhancing reflective learning experiences in museums through interactive installations (2018)
Journal Article

In this study we examine the effect that several technological affordances have upon the experiences of children while visiting a museum, focusing upon engagement, discussion and reflection. The museum is the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum in Malacca, M... Read More about Enhancing reflective learning experiences in museums through interactive installations.

The ethical and social implications of personalization technologies for e-learning (2014)
Journal Article

Personalization in information systems can be considered beneficial but also ethically and socially harmful. Like many other technologies, the uptake of personalization has been rapid, with inadequate consideration given to its effects. Personalizati...

On the Turing Completeness of the Semantic Web (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York. The evidenced fact that “Linking is as powerful as computing” in a dynamic web context has lead to evaluating Turing completeness for hypertext systems based on their linking model. The same evaluatio... Read More about On the Turing Completeness of the Semantic Web.

Translation techniques in cross-language information retrieval (2012)
Journal Article

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is an active sub-domain of information retrieval (IR). Like IR, CLIR is centered on the search for documents and for information contained within those documents. Unlike IR, CLIR must reconcile queries and...

Evaluating Learning Style Personalization in Adaptive Systems: Quantitative Methods and Approaches (2009)
Journal Article

It is a widely held assumption that learning style is a useful model for quantifying user characteristics for effective personalized learning. We set out to challenge this assumption by discussing the current state of the art in relation to quantitat...

Adaptive hypermedia system interoperability: A 'real world' evaluation (2007)
Journal Article

Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) authoring is widely acknowledged to be complex and time consuming, yet this vital process is rarely evaluated. Recent research has approached the authoring problem by ensuring that previously created materials can be converte...

'Authoring once, delivering many': Creating reusable adaptive courseware (2005)
Journal Article

This paper addresses the issue of creating reusable adaptive courseware from the point of view of the author (teacher or instructor). We illustrate the idea of reusability under the motto "Authoring Once, Delivering Many" by showing the conversion pr...

Patterns in authoring of adaptive educational hypermedia: A taxonomy of learning styles (2005)
Journal Article

This paper describes the use of adaptation patterns in the task of formulating standards for adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH) systems that is currently under investigation by the EU ADAPT project. Within this project, design dimensions for high... Read More about Patterns in authoring of adaptive educational hypermedia: A taxonomy of learning styles.

Unified hyperstructures for bioinformatics: Escaping the application prison (2004)
Journal Article

The Next Big Thing in hypertext will be unifying different applications in bioinformatics through the ZigZag paradigm, allowing this field to live up to its promise of revolutionising the pharmaceutical industry. The paper outlines ZigZag, Ted Nelson... Read More about Unified hyperstructures for bioinformatics: Escaping the application prison.

Technical note user modelling, and adaptive hypermedia frameworks for education (2002)
Journal Article

In this paper, we give an overview of the hybrid model, which is a generic user model that is based on measuring and classifying users' knowledge with respect to multiple knowledge domains simultaneously. In addition, we demonstrate how that model is... Read More about Technical note user modelling, and adaptive hypermedia frameworks for education.

Knowledge Tree: Putting discourse into computer-based learning (1997)
Journal Article

Most CBL materials currently in use model only the declarative aspects of the learning process. If such courseware is used without careful planning, this can be dangerous because one of the most fundamental aspects of education is the dialogue that o...

Authorware professional: Multi-platform icon authoring (1992)
Journal Article

This paper describes the use of a multi-platform icon authoring development environment to create flexible CBT material without the need for conventional programming skills.
