Abstract

Educo is system for collaborative web-based learning. Collaboration is enabled by real-time social navigation and support for social interaction via synchronous and asynchronous discussions. However, the system and the use of the system in collaborative learning could benefit from dynamic profiling as well as active recommendations for the students working in the learning environment. The paper describes the system and discusses the generation of profiles and recommendations.
