Abstract

Adaptive Hypermedia and Intelligent Tutoring Systems are both used for computer-based instruction, but their strengths lie in different areas. Adaptive Hypermedia is better suited to the instruction of concepts, while Intelligent Tutoring Systems generally assist in the use of these concepts to solve problems. A general instruction system requires both of these methods of instruction to provide a full learning environment. This paper describes a proposed method of combining Adaptive Hypermedia and Intelligent Tutoring Systems using Knowledge Spaces, a method of mathematically modeling a domain.
