Nitchot, Athitaya; Gilbert, Lester; Wills, Gary B. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2014
The article proposes a self-study system which suggests web links to learners. The suggestions depend upon the learner's chosen competences selected from a competence structure for a particular knowledge domain. Three experiments were conducted, where the first compared the perceived usefulness and value of the links generated by different…
