TL;DR
With QuizGuide the students explored more questions, worked on questions more persistently, and accessed a larger diversity of questions, which resulted in the larger increase of their knowledge at the end of the course.
Abstract
The paper introduces QuizGuide, an adaptive system that we developed to help our students select the most relevant self-assessment quizzes. QuizGuide uses adaptive navigation support to show every student which topics are currently most important and which require further work. Despite relatively simple user modeling and adaptation techniques used in QuizGuide, the system has achieved a remarkable impact on student learning and performance. With QuizGuide the students explored more questions, worked on questions more persistently, and accessed a larger diversity of questions. This increased participation resulted in the larger increase of their knowledge at the end of the course.

The goal of this paper is to present the state of the art in adaptive hypermedia at the eve of the year 2000, and to highlight some prospects for the future.
ELM-ART: An Adaptive Versatile System for Web-Based Instruction
550 Citations2001Gerhard Weber, Peter Brusilovsky
It is argued that versatility is an important feature of successful Web-based education systems and ELM-ART, an intelligent interactive educational system to support learning programming in LISP, demonstrates how some interactive and adaptive educational component can be implemented in WWW context and how multiple components can be naturally integrated together in a single system.

The goal of KnowledgeTree is to bridge the gap between the currently popular approach to Web-based education, which is centered on learning management systems vs. the powerful but underused technologies in intelligent tutoring and adaptive hypermedia.
Adaptation in Open Corpus Hypermedia
169 Citations2001Nicola Henze, Wolfgang Nejdl
The proposed system is based on an indexing concept for various information resources and a Bayesian Network engine for calculating estimations on a user's changing knowledge and implements constructivist teaching approaches, establishes conceptual models for designing courses and enables guided tours, intelligent example retrieval and further adaptive navigation support.

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.

121 Citations2015Peter Brusilovsky, Leonid Pesin
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.
