Abstract
Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) is very time consuming and complex to produce. Moreover, with the rapid rate of AEH development, content generated within a given system can become outdated very rapidly. Both of these contribute to the slow uptake of AEH outside of the research community. We consider interoperability between AEH systems to be an important part of the solution to this problem. This paper describes our research into a one-to-one conversion between the AEH systems MOT and WHURLE. Here we focus on the conversion of User Model data, drawing conclusions as to the effectiveness of the conversion and identifying common aspects of the two systems' user models.
