Abstract
Hypermedia has been identified as a promising medium for education. However, it is beset with problems concerning the complexity of navigation and meeting the individual needs of the user. This paper is concerned with a domain-independent metric that can be used to extract information about a user of an educational hypermedia system with a view to tailoring the hypermedia to meet the user's individual needs. The metric attempts to discover a user's information seeking goal when they are using a hypermedia system based upon the patterns they make as they navigate the hypermedia. Discussed within are the types of patterns that a hypermedia navigator may use and how they may be used to infer the user's information seeking goal. Experiments, used to demonstrate the validity of this approach are described and discussed.
