Abstract
Many Web-based educational applications are expected to be used by very different groups of users without the assistance of a human teacher. Accordingly there is a need for systems which can adapt to users with very different backgrounds, prior knowledge of the subject and learning goals. An electronic textbook is one of the most prominent varieties of Web-based educational systems. In this paper we describe an approach for developing adaptive textbooks and present InterBook—an authoring tool based on this approach which simplifies the development of adaptive electronic textbooks on the Web.

It is shown that while this particular form of ANS implemented in InterBook initially had a negative effect on learning of the group, it appears to have been beneficial to the learning of those particular students who tended to accept the navigation advice, particularly initially when they were unfamiliar with a complex interface.

An educational hypermedia system ISIS-Tutor is presented that applies several ANS technologies - adaptive annotation, adaptive hiding, and direct guidance - and a study which evaluates the first two technologies shows that adaptive navigation support is helpful and can reduce user navigation efforts.
