Abstract
The main topic addressed in this paper is how to help learners navigate in existing web-based learning resources. In order to resolve this issue, we propose a learner-centered navigation path planning. The key idea is to provide learners with a path planning space, in which they can see through hyperspace to plan a navigation path. This paper describes an assistant system called Planning Assistant (PA for short), which is composed of the resource map, page previewer, and path previewer. The page previewer generates an overview of each web page in the map by extracting representative information from the html file. The path previewer helps learners make a sequence of the pages previewed as navigation path plan. These facilities help learners decide which pages to visit and plan a navigation path without visiting web pages. This paper also describes an evaluation of leaner-centered navigation path planning with PA. The results indicate that PA facilitates learners' navigation in hyperspace, particularly in more complicated hyperspace.
