Abstract
Several online repositories make available learning resources known as Learning Objects (LOs), and tasks such as identifying useful metadata, diminishing the annotation effort, and facilitating LOs discovery and retrieval, remain still as open challenges. Advanced searching techniques such as recommending systems have been studied to address these issues, though mainly focused on students. We focus on teachers and exploit their context in order to identify metadata that describes LOs content. Teachers’ profiles consider also such metadata in a hybrid approach for recommending LOs to teachers and instructors.
