Abstract

In this work we propose a framework for courses recommendation. We use a social network approach to discover relations between users and discover social networks reflecting the patterns according to which the services are used. The topological analysis of this network allows us to detect dense groups of users which tend to use educational. The method for educational services and the results of some experiments are given.
