Research Abstract	Inquiry-based learning with the use of hypermedia like the Web often poses a number of problems : inadaptability of presented information to learner's existing knowledge level, disorientation in hyperspace, inconsistency of gathered information, difficulties in self-checking one's own knowledge retention, etc. To solve these problems, we have developed and evaluated an adaptive hyper-encyclopedia of insects, which incorporates some features of traditional textbooks. The results of evaluation indicate that functions such as display of learning history and dynamic navigation may support inquiry-based learning with mutually interlinked hypermedia learning materials.
