Abstract

One of the problems in technology-enhanced learning is how to efficiently find in the network of educational nodes those learning resources that contribute most to learner's personal goals. This paper presents a personalized search component that enables a learner to find such learning resources in the network, and a methodology and results of its evaluation. The component has been developed in the EU IST ELENA project as part of the HCD (Human Capital Development) Suite. We have tested its usability, i.e. effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction. The testing results show some interesting aspects that have effect on personalized search performance. Based on these results improvements are proposed and some guidelines for such components are given.
