An empirical evaluation of learner performance in e-learning recommender systems and an adaptive hypermedia system

This paper introduces a novel architecture for an e-learning recommender system which is based on good learners' average ratings strategy and content-based filtering approach. The feasibility of the proposed system is conducted by comparing its performance against other recommender systems and...
