Abstract

Help systems offer a variety of services ranging from providing References to online documents to providing task-specific on-the-job training. One of the pervasive characteristics of any help system is the conception of a help-context. Depending on the type of service being offered, help systems may require different help-contexts. The context captures knowledge about the person who provides help, the person who consumes help, the help material, and the tool that delivers the material. The knowledge about the helper and the helpee can be stored in user models. In this paper we discuss how help-contexts are created in the Helper’s Assistant and how user models enhance the quality of help-contexts and the quality of help being delivered.
