Adaptive Hypermedia Techniques for 3D Educational Virtual Environments

Based on a well-known adaptive hypermedia framework, the proposed system creates a 3D educational virtual environment that selects and personalizes interactive learning content for users. In EVEs, users not only see concepts visualized, but they can perform tasks in a suitable fictional world or a real-world reproduction. Moreover, compared to 2D multimedia, using interactive 3D graphics lets developers create representations of subjects or phenomena that are more informative and make it possible for users to analyze a single subject from different viewpoints. In EVEs, adaptivity can play an important role in increasing both learning-process effectiveness and interface usability.
