Authoring adaptive courses - ALE approach

Currently there are just a few adaptive hypermedia authoring tools oriented to education. We develop one of them - the Adaptive Learning Environment (ALE) that has been already used by several universities in the area of design and architecture. In this paper we present an approach how to support the authoring process in the case of adaptive (educational) hypermedia. We describe the representation of content materials, of the knowledge about the domain as well as about the student, interconnection of the knowledge with the materials, we mention the support of template based authoring and finally explain what adaptation strategies we implement.
