AEHS have been developed and tested in various disciplines and have proven their usefulness for improved and goal-oriented learning and teaching. However, these systems normally come along as stand-alone systems — proprietary solutions have been investigated, tested and improved to fulfill specific, often domain-dependent requirements. This phenomenon is known in the literature as the open corpus problem in AEHS [2] which states that normally, adaptive applications work on a fixed set of documents which is defined at the design time of the system, and ...}, language = {en}, urldate = {2016-05-03}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of {Multimedia}}, publisher = {Springer US}, editor = {Furht, Borko}, year = {2008}, note = {00000}, pages = {2--3} }
