Abstract

In this paper we describe a personal e-learning recommender system called School e-Guide for tracking the navigational behavior of the learners in a typical e-learning environment. The system integrates with web-based learning management systems compatible with the SCORM e-learning standard. It consists of a data miner that receives students', lessons', courses', classes' and the school's profiles and tracked data from the learning management system and analyzes these data in aim to predict possible problems (if any), features and evaluations of students, lessons, courses, classes, and the school. Next, the data miner sends its predictions (rules) to an intelligent agent, which in turn aims to verify the predictions of the data miner and to suggest solutions to the problems (if any) and/or suitable actions (if needed) according to those features and evaluations. The system is designed, implemented and tested in a real environment.
