Adaptive Electronic Textbooks were a topic of interests of [[our lab| Home]] members for many years. While the majority of works on electronic books is concerned with just coping the old format in the new media, we believe that moving textbooks to electronic form brings a number of interesting opportunities that go well beyond the functionality of traditional printed textbooks. In our work we primarily explored the opportunities to make an electronic book adaptive (i.e., personalized), interactive, and social.  This paper presents different ideas in the area of adaptive electronic textbooks explored by [[PAWS Lab| Home]] members.

Adaptive Electronic Textbooks were a topic of interests of Home members for many years. While the majority of works on electronic books is concerned with just coping the old format in the new media, we believe that moving textbooks to electronic form brings a number of interesting opportunities that go well beyond the functionality of traditional printed textbooks. In our work we primarily explored the opportunities to make an electronic book adaptive (i.e., personalized), interactive, and social. This paper presents different ideas in the area of adaptive electronic textbooks explored by Home members.

Subtopics

Concept-based Textbooks with Adaptive Navigation Support

This work focused on constructing the first adaptive textbooks. The personalization was based on advanced manual indexing of textbooks with concepts and relatively simple student modeling and personalization approaches.

Automating the Construction of Adaptive Textbook

This work focused on automating several critical processes of adaptive book development that were done manually in the first generation research. This direction engages ontologies, advanced text processing and modeling, and machine learning.

Social Navigation for Online Textbooks

This work focused on social navigation as an alternative socially-driven mechanism to guide readers of online textbooks to the right content. Bringing analogy with recommender systems, the traditional knowledge-based approach was more like content-based filtering, while social navigation is more like collaborative filtering.
