Adaptive Presentation of Multimedia Interface Case Study: "Brain Story" Course

The paper presents the development of a multimedia adaptive interface based on the cognitive profile of a user. It describes the cognitive profile and the document architecture that have been adopted. Indeed, the user profile is generated in a stage former to the adaptation, it is structured into a separate database. As for the document, it is presented in XML files. The paper describes in detail the way these components are combined ; it presents the adaptive process. During this process, the combination of medias that best fits the cognitive profile of each user is selected. This technique is applied on a hypermedia course called "Saga du Cerveau" (The Brain Story).
