Learning materials recommendation using good learners ratings and content-based filtering
The enormity of the amount of learning materials in e-learning has led to the difficulty of locating suitable learning materials for a particular learning topic, creating the need for recommendation tools within a learning context. In this paper, we aim to address this need by proposing a novel e-le...

Our proposed framework works on the idea of recommending learning materials with a similar content and indicating the quality of learning materials based on good learners� ratings.
