Hypermedia and cognition: designing for comprehension

Recommendations

Adaptive hypermedia through contextualized open hypermedia structures

The aim of this article is to produce an alternative view of the adaptive hypermedia (AH) domain from a contextually-aware open hypermedia (OH) perspective. We believe that a wide range of AH techniques can be supported with a small number of OH ...
