Trace Learners Clustering to Improve Learning Object Recommendation in Online Education Platforms

E-learning platforms propose pedagogical pathways where learners are invited to mobilize their autonomy to achieve the learning objectives. However, some learners face a set of cognitive barriers that require additional learning objects to progress in the course. A mediating recommendation system is one of the efficient solutions to reinforce the resilience of online platforms, while suggesting learning objects that will be interesting for them according to their needs. The objective of this contribution is to design a new mediator recommendation model for e-learning platforms to suggest learning objects to the learner based on collaborative filtering. To this end, the proposed system relies on the implicit behaviors estimation function as an underlying technique to convert tacit traces into explicit preferences allowing to compute the similarity between learners.
