Abstract

Adaptive hypermedia courseware benefits from being distributed over the Web: content can always be kept up-to-date, discussions and interactions between instructors and learners can be supported, new courses can easily be distributed to the students. Nevertheless, adaptive hypermedia systems are - even in the web content - still stand-alone systems as long as they lack the ability to integrate and adapt information from arbitrary places in the web.

In this paper, we discuss the integration of hypermedia courses and web material into existing, adaptive hypermedia courses. We show a possible solution which we have used for an undergraduate course about Java programming. We then discuss this solution as well as advantages and problems, and identify several research issues which have still to be solved for adapting distributed course materials.
