Using digital and internet technologies in recent years has not only provided more education opportunities outside classrooms, but has also gained many attentions as a new theme for prospective learners to acquire knowledge in a more convenient way. In such a new paradigm of the so called e-Learning, many efforts have been made to build web-based learning systems that provide controllable processes of learning activities with desired curricular contents. From the learning perspective, this means that desired contents are delivered with spectacular ways to catch the attention of the learners or to enhance their comprehension on these contents. For this need, we present in this paper a flip blended learning approach for designing, lecturing, and assessing academic courses with ePUB3 eBooks used in learning activities for delivering desired curricular contents. Further, for justifying its validity, the approach employs also an analysis about the effects of using our ePUB3 eBook-based flip blended learning model in academic course learning. For implementation, the approach is applied for the design and instruction of an 'Object-Oriented Concepts' course for freshman students at a Department of Information Management.

“…More recently, these popular approaches to learning style adaptation were integrated into several adaptation frameworks and authoring tools such as ACE [179], CAMELEON [111], AHA! [181], and APeLS [47]. For example, a system developed according to APeLS framework [47] matches the user model with content metadata in order to select learning objects that are most relevant to the user's learning style given certain alternatives provided in the pool of resources.…”

Abstract. One distinctive feature of any adaptive system is the user model that represents essential information about each user. This chapter complements other chapters of this book in reviewing user models and user modeling approaches applied in adaptive Web systems. The presentation is structured along three dimensions: what is being modeled, how it is modeled, and how the models are maintained. After a broad overview of the nature of the information presented in these various user models, the chapter focuses on two groups of approaches to user model representation and maintenance: the overlay approach to user model representation and the uncertainty-based approach to user modeling. IntroductionAdaptive hypermedia and other adaptive Web systems (AWS) belong to the class of user-adaptive software systems [174]. One distinctive feature of an adaptive system is a user model. The user model is a representation of information about an individual user that is essential for an adaptive system to provide the adaptation effect, i.e., to behave differently for different users. For example, when the user searches for relevant information, the system can adaptively select and prioritize the most relevant items (see Chapter 6 of this book [125]). When the user navigates from one item to another, the system can manipulate the links (e.g., hide, sort, annotate) to provide adaptive navigation support (see Chapter 8 of this book [21]). When the user reaches a particular page, the system can present the content adaptively (see Chapter 13 of this book [28]). To create and maintain an up-to-date user model, an adaptive system collects data for the user model from various sources that may include implicitly observing user interaction and explicitly requesting direct input from the user. This process is known as user modeling. User modeling and adaptation are two sides of the same coin. The amount and the nature of the information represented in the user model depend to a large extent on the kind of adaptation effect that the system has to deliver. 4 P. Brusilovsky and E. Millán As mentioned in the introduction, Chapters 1 to 5 of this book are focused mostly on the modeling side of personalization, while the remaining chapters focus mostly on the adaptation side. Chapters 1 and 2 are specifically devoted to user models and user modeling. Beyond this, user modeling issues are discussed at different levels of detail in several other chapters. This chapter attempts to complement the remaining chapters in two ways. First, it provides an overview (a "big picture") of the user modeling side referring readers when necessary to additional information in chapters within this book. Second, it attempts to complement other chapters by presenting aspects that are either not covered in other chapters or covered insufficiently.To envision the big picture, this chapter follows Sleeman [175] who suggested classifying user models by the nature and form of information contained in the model as well as the methods of working with it.

Can learning styles (LS) be applied in current webbased systems? What are the main issues when applying LS in web-based systems? Can LS be authored in current web-based systems? What are the main issues when authoring LS in web-based systems? Can LS applications improve the efficiency of learning in web-based systems? Can LS applications be tested in web-based systems? These are important questions that are starting to be asked both in adaptive hypermedia (AH), as well as in web-based learning communities. This paper's aim is to raise the awareness of the timeliness of asking these questions now. Moreover, the paper sketches some preliminary answers, intended for starting a cross-disciplinary debate on these issues.
