Increasing efficiency of reading from screen

Abstract

In order to improve the learning process, an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia has to provide a personalized version of the learning material, as well as individual learning settings and environment. This work presents the efforts to find those factors which could mean some environment personalization in a learning process where those kinds of e-curricula are used, which are assembled mostly from pure text, without multimedia elements. The purpose of this work is also to define the factors for creating and providing a learning environment tailored to the learner's specific needs connected with their learning styles, and which could improve reading from the screen.
