Adaptation in the Context of Explanatory Visualization

Explanatory visualization is a promising approach that has been used in many tutoring systems. This paper presents an attempt to assess the value of adaptation in the context of explanatory visualization. It shows that a system employing a user model and tracking users' progress gives students an opportunity to interact with larger amount of material in the same amount of time.
