Motivation
• There is a serious need of personalization and adaptation in commercial environments
• AEH can provide a systematic framework
• Our work is one of the first attempts of marrying the two worlds:
commercial & AEH

Conclusion• MOT was viewed as more stable, while C-e/LAOS
was more appealing• More specific/limited is appreciated over
flexible/complex• MOT: functional (SUS), C-e/LAOS: overall
impression (specific questionnaire)• C-e/LAOS: higher learning threshold; might in the
long run be more appreciated for its extra options. • This work represents one of the first attempts to
systematically create an authoring environment for personalized learning in a commercial setting, therefore adapting commercial learning environments for adaptivity.
