Whilst quantitative and qualitative research methods have been comprehensively discussed
in the literature there remains a notable absence of discussion about conceptual research …

In the past decade, a number of adaptive hypermedia learning systems have been
developed. However, most of these systems tailor presentation content and navigational …

Adaptive systems are usually interactive systems. As such they stand to benefit considerably
from a development lifecycle that ensures user involvement from the early design stages …

A current problem with the research of adaptive systems is the inconsistency of evaluation
applied to the adaptive systems. However, evaluating an adaptive system is a difficult task …

It is a widely held assumption that learning style is a useful model for quantifying user
characteristics for effective personalized learning. We set out to challenge this assumption …

Computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling has been one of the most commonly used
manufacturing processes for the performance of multiple operations, from tiny integrated …

Empirical studies with adaptive systems offer many advantages and opportunities.
Nevertheless, there is still a lack of evaluation studies. This chapter lists several problems …

In this paper we argue about the need to develop an educational-evaluation model and a
methodology that include usability testing as standard procedure capable to determine the …

The previous chapter gave a broad overview of the concepts and ideas explored in this
thesis and provided a comprehensive historical perspective leading up to the work itself. In …
