  1. Amirkabir University of Technology Tehran, Iran A Recommender System for Learning Resources Suggestions Based on Learner Characteristics Ahmad A. Kardan GolsaMirbagheri June2012

  2. Introduction Contribution Basic Theory System Design Analysis of the Learners Analysis of the Resources System Architecture Proposed Method for Learner Classification Result Conclusion Index

  3. Introduction Information Overload Recommender System • Motivation • rarely is being used in E-learning • offering the right resources • learner characteristics • shortest possible time

  4. Contribution • Collaborative filtering • Two groups • Self-paced learning or recommending?

  5. Basic Theory • Target User • Self-paced learning method • Recommender system • Collaborative Filtering Method • User-based method • Item-based method

  6. System Design architecture of recommender system • Learners • collaborative filtering unit • learning resources • two sub-systems

  7. Analysis of the Learners from the First and Second Group • 60 participants • First group : self-paced learning • Second group: recommender system

  8. Analysis of the Resources • 10 resources about “hardware ergonomic” • abstract • 5 suitable resources

  9. Subsystem1 Subsystem2 Learners Collaborative Technique Data Entry Similar Users Finding Collaborative Filtering Method DB Data Entry Similar User's Sources Select Resources Selection System Architecture Recommended Resources Learning Resources Resources Score Test Test

  10. Proposed Method for Learner Classification • 5 questions in the registration section • Compare answers more similar answers = more scores Score user (i)= 2Q1 + 2Q2 + 4Q3 + 6Q4 + 6Q5 Q = {0 , 1}

  11. Finding the Similar Users Group 1 Similar Users Group 2 CF

  12. System Pre-Evaluation Self-Paced Learning OR Recommender System?

  13. Comparison of Selected Resources for Group1 (left) and Received Resources for Group2 (right) First Group Second Group

  14. The Analysis of Resource Selection by the Learners of the First and Second Groups Reading of sources Resources

  15. Percentage of correct answers to questions by the users group 1&2 Correct answers Questions (Test)

  16. Conclusion • information overload • recommender system • speed and quality • score for each activity • Recommendations for both groups Limitations of this Study • few learners • interest for studying • educational environment
