Adaptive Hypermedia

Interactive systems that build a model of each user's goals, knowledge, preferences, and context, then use this model to automatically adapt the content, presentation, and navigation of hypermedia documents. Unlike static web pages that present the same interface to all users, adaptive hypermedia systems personalize what information is shown, how it is structured, and which links or navigation options are available. In accessibility, adaptive hypermedia is relevant because it can tailor content delivery to the specific needs and capabilities of users with disabilities — for example, adjusting content complexity for users with cognitive disabilities, providing alternative navigation structures for screen reader users, or adapting output modalities based on sensory abilities.
