Abstract
In the last few years, the research at the University of Ostrava has been focused on the theory of adaptive e-learning and its testing in practice. Quality adaptable textbooks are essential in order for this type of education to be successful. The paper deals with one of the main parts of the stated issue – an evaluation of adaptive textbooks. Evaluation can be conducted (a) before the start of the education process, (b) immediately after the textbook has been inserted into the LMS, or (c) after the protocol of students’ behavior in the on-line mode has been analyzed. The paper describes the theoretical proposition of one type of evaluation and its verification in practice.
