摘要:Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) and IMS Simple Sequencing (SS) are different approaches but both intend to attain a similar goal: tailored content for learning, just as Abdullah et al. discussed in [1]. However, these two distinct approaches have their own merits and defects. For SS, it takes the conformity with learning objects (LO) as the prime principle, and thus become the main approach to achieve dynamic presentation under the paradigm of using LOs to wrap up learning materials. But due to the absence of explicit domain and user models, SS cannot perform adaptivity in terms of learners’ cognition, such as prior knowledge, learning styles, etc. On the other hand, AH systems focus on constructing explicit models that represent various aspects of information related to decision making, such as user’s prior knowledge, preferences, learning domain, pedagogical knowledge, etc. Therefore, AH systems could perform elaborate decision making based on these models. However, issues like interoperability and reusability remain challenging to researchers in the AH field.
