Comparison of adaptable and adaptive methods in hypermedia systems and developing a sample tool in foreign language learning

In the scope of this thesis, general properties of designing adaptive hypermedia are presented and some recent adaptive hypermedia developing models are reviewed. Furthermore, adaptable and adaptive methods in hypermedia systems were compared and the comparison results were used to develop an application, which is manifesting a useful method that combines the benefical properties of adaptive and adaptable applications. Since the adaptive hypermedia best fits to educational systems, the subject was choosen to be foreign language (English) education and the application is used to promote learning in some grammer topics.
