  • Abstract
    Content creation for a language learning system is a time-consuming, laborious, and expensive task. An important part of content in a language learning system is the illustrative content, namely example sentences. We discuss a solution to reuse illustrative content in a Web-based language learning system for the German and Italian languages. Our approach explores fully the potential of hypertext, which allows building complex networks of small pieces of learning material. A first evaluation shows promising results.
