Abstract: Educational module information indicates module characteristics and enables to answer such questions as "What is this module about?" or "Who is the reader of this module?" In this paper we describe the proposed framework for representation and adaptive presentation of the module hypermedia information. It is based on the XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Our work deals with adaptation of provided information during the module running. Adaptation is based primarily on the context of presentation. We experimented with the proposed approach and implemented a software prototype, which enables time view and user view of the module information. All presented data are stored in a database. Each element has associated constraints at the level of presentation, intended group of readers and presentation time represented by XML.
