Abstract

Research in the field of recommender systems is evolving rapidly and these systems are increasingly being applied to specific domains, including educational technologies. In the field of education, in general, recommender systems are used to improve the processes of online learning and teaching. However, with the growth in the number of educational resources and their diversities, the problem of information overload is becoming increasingly critical. Therefore, providing learners with personalized educational recommendation tools is a necessity. The objective of this work is to propose a new approach to recommend resources to students according to their preferences. This recommendation approach introduces a general framework called collaborative filtering (CF) based on neural networks, which complements classical models and machine learning algorithms such as KNN, SVD of collaborative filtering. The experiments we have performed prove the performance of the proposed approach.
