Context Aware Recommendations in the Course Enrolment Process Based on Curriculum Guidelines
Ajanovski, Vangel V.
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on e-Learning (Prague, Czech Republic, Jul 23-26, 2013)
This research is a part of an ongoing project for development of an integrated student information system, aiming to incorporate self-adaptivity, personalization and social navigation, both in the overall management of university processes, and throughout the course work. In this paper the focus is on the advancement of the existing course recommendation framework to a more context-aware level. The model presented in this paper aims to increase the personalization in processes happening at the beginning of the academic term and the start of the teaching. The first part of the paper presents recent development on the modernization of the process of term enrolment and the virtual academic adviser component. The evolution of the virtual adviser is discussed that allows the student to change and experiment with different study paths and specializations without affecting the overall length of the studies. In the second part of the paper, a new framework is described that is based on the model of knowledge given in referent curriculum guidelines from professional organizations. This model is then used to offer course recommendations that are more inclined to the context. [For the full proceedings, see ED562127.]
