Abstract :
Attention to diversity is growing concern in public secondary schools in Spain. This paper presents an assessment about the use of adaptive hypermedia technology for supporting diversity. Three experiences were carried out with an adaptive course on mathematics to test the effects of this technology on the heterogeneous population of secondary schools. Their results and conclusions are also presented
