A dynamic linkage method for hypermedia

Hypermedia systems have become increasingly popular as tools for user-driven learning and information retrieval. This paper describes a dynamic linkage method, by which links of hypermedia change according to the difference in users and users´ behaviors. Although some researches have been made in this field of adaptive hypermedia, our approach differs in that our method deals with both path history and user parameter at the same time, and the two are based on rules expressed as logical equations. A prototype system for CAI was developed based on the proposed method and was evaluated by some experiments
