Abstract
Authoring tools for adaptive educational hypermedia are still rarely available for a wider public. In the WINDS project, we have developed the Adaptive Learning Environment (ALE) for various European universities active in the area of design and architecture. Teachers without programming skills have created 21 courses in the ALE authoring environment, which simplifies the process providing learning object templates and enabling reusability of materials. This paper describes the WINDS authoring approach and presents some evaluation results.
