    Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology 2020 (Volume 8 - Issue 3 ) A Web Based System Design for Creating [1] [email protected], Gazi University, Faculty of Gazi Content in Adaptive Educational Education, Ankara Hypermedia and Its Usability [2] [email protected], Gazi University, Faculty of Gazi Education, Ankara Yıldız Özaydın Aydoğdu [1], Nursel Yalçın [2] http://dx.doi.org/10.17220/mojet.2020.03.001 ABSTRACT Adaptive educational hypermedia is an environment that offers an individualized learning environment according to the characteristics, knowledge and purpose of the students. In general, adaptive educational hypermedia, a user model is created based on user characteristics and adaptations are made in terms of text, content or presentation according to the created user model. Different contents according to the user model are shown as much as user model creation in adaptive educational hypermedia. The development of applications that allow the creation of adaptive content according to the features specified in the user model has great importance in ensuring the use of adaptive educational hypermedia in different contexts. The purpose of this research is to develop a web- based application for creating content in adaptive educational hypermedia and to examine the usability of the developed application. In order to examine the usability of the application developed in the scope of the study, a field expert opinion form was developed and opinions were asked about the usability of the application from 7 different field experts. As the result of the opinions, it has been seen that the application developed has a high usability level. In addition, based on domain expert recommendations, system revisions were made and the system was published at www.adaptivecontentdevelopment.com.

  • Webvise: Browser and Proxy Support for Open Hypermedia Structuring Mechanisms on the WWW
    Webvise: Browser and Proxy Support for Open Hypermedia Structuring Mechanisms on the WWW Kaj Grønbæk, Lennert Sloth, & Peter Ørbæk University of Aarhus Department of Computer Science, Åbogade 34, 8200 Århus N, Denmark. Email: {kgronbak, les, poe}@daimi.au.dk Abstract This paper discusses how to augment the WWW with an open hypermedia service (Webvise) that provides structures such as contexts, links, annotations, and guided tours stored in hypermedia databases external to the Web pages. This includes the ability for users collaboratively to create links from parts of HTML Web pages they do not own and support for creating links to parts of Web pages without writing HTML target tags. The method for locating parts of Web pages can locate parts of pages across frame hierarchies and it is also supports certain repairs of links that breaks due to modified Web pages. Support for providing links to/from parts of non-HTML data, such as sound and movie will be possible via interfaces to plug-ins and Java based media players. The hypermedia structures are stored in a hypermedia database, developed from the Devise Hypermedia framework, and the service is available on the Web via an ordinary URL. The best user interface for creating and manipulating the structures is currently provided for the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x browser through COM integration that utilize the Explorers DOM representation of Web-pages. But the structures can also be manipulated and used via special Java applets and a pure proxy server solution is provided for users who only need to browse the structures.

  • How Is Empathy Evoked in Interactive Multimodal Life Stories?
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies September 2016: 125-149 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.2016.42.2.08 How Is Empathy Evoked in Interactive Multimodal Life Stories? Evelyn Chew Alex Mitchell Department of Communications and New Media National University of Singapore, Singapore Abstract While the printed word, music and film have well-known means of evoking empathy, interactive digital media lacks such well-established storytelling strategies, especially with regard to non-fiction works. Autobiographical storytellers who wish to relate their experiences interactively, such as through hypertext, do not have a clear toolkit of techniques to rely on. In this paper, we consider some techniques used by autobiographical authors of hypertext stories to evoke empathy. Our close reading of two interactive works, Travis Megill’s Memorial and Steven Wingate’s daddylabyrinth, indicates that multimodal elements and the author-reader relationship are important factors in conveying a sense of “what it’s like” to be the autobiographical life subject. In Memorial, a tribute to a dead brother, the narrator is monologic and in-text hyperlinks uncover the layers of emotion of a brother’s grief. Occasional unexpected revelations from clicking a hyperlink give insight into the author’s inner conflictual, buried feelings of guilt. daddylabyrinth, a maze of hyperlinked vignettes that mirror the author’s psychological space, engages the reader conversationally, and is structured to reflect the author’s interior journey to exorcise the anger issues inherited from his father. Using Douglas and Hargadon’s distinction between immersion and engagement, we suggest that affective empathy is more likely to be evoked when a hypertext immerses the reader in a single, consistent stream of consciousness, whereas cognitive empathy is more likely to arise if the hypertext seeks to engage rather than immerse, by dialoguing with the reader and constantly overturning conventional schemas, and by foregrounding its structure.
