Abstract

We have developed an adaptive web-based learning system, which aims to re-construct the web for efficient knowledge construction. This system enables learners to create hyperlinks on the web and share them. Furthermore, the sharable hyperlinks unrelated to individual learners' interests are eliminated in order to reduce information (hyperlink) overflow. Experimental use of this system implied a possibility of new adaptive support: it might be effective support to intentionally highlight the sharable hyperlinks unrelated to individual learners' interests. Based on such possibility, we undertake improving this system. The improved system aims to provide learners with new findings.
