Abstract

This paper describes Tutor/ADAPT, a working model and framework for scrutable adaptive hypertext. This enables the user to scrutinise the system to determine how the document was adapted. They are also able to control the adaptation by altering the user model at any time in the interaction. The user can see which parts of the user model have been used to control aspects, which appear in the document. The system has three major parts: an authoring tool; the web based interface; and ATML is the language used for adaptive hypertext source documents. This paper describes the user view, especially the scrutability support.
