worthy of paying efforts to achieve the goal.<br />

• To utilize new adaptation technologies to produce learning contents: In this article, we have mentioned three<br />

content adaptation approaches: single authoring, multiple authoring, and flexible authoring. These adaptation<br />

methods only focus on producing adaptable web pages, excluding the adaptations of multimedia in the web<br />

pages. In order to reach the full adaptation of learning contents (both adaptations of web pages and multimedia<br />

are taken into account), the multimedia adaptation technologies should be involved into the content production<br />

mechanism. For example, the BSDL (Bitstream Syntax Description Language) was introduced to perform<br />

multimedia resource adaptation (Panis et al., 2003).<br />
