Abstract

Planning navigation process in hyperspace is an important activity for learning hypermedia/hypertext-based contents such as existing Web contents. However, it is quite hard for learners to plan their navigation process in a self-directed way. The main issue addressed in this paper is how to scaffold the self-directed navigation planning process. Our approach to this issue is to provide learners with a guided map, which not only represents hyperspace but also highlights representative pages and links to be learned in the hyperspace. We propose a navigation history mining method that can extract these representative pages and links from navigation histories that could be gathered from peers. This paper also discusses the potential for adaptive scaffolding, which can adapt the guided map to learners' capabilities of navigation planning.
