Abstract

We will visualize a user model to achieve adaptive information retrieval in a learning environment. User profile components such as user interests and user knowledge are visualized in WebVIBE with the purpose of helping the student in identifying relevant documents for study. We will be able to find out whether this visualization will change the students' access patterns to the study material and whether they will be able to find relevant documents faster.
