A Recommender System for Collaborative Knowledge >>
To provide recommendations of learning objects and adaptive learning
support has been one of the main areas within the AIED community. Learnergenerated
material could potentially be valuable as learning resources. How to
identify relevant learner-generated resources and provide just-in-time
recommendations to the learner is a challenging task. This paper presents a
recommender system that can recommend collaborative knowledge constructed
and accumulated by previous learners.
Reusing Collaborative Knowledge as Learning Objects - The Implementation and Evaluation of AnnForum >>
With the development and adoption of digital technologies in learning, there is an increasingly large amount of learner-generated material being stored or recorded. This learner-generated material could contain important learning resources. This paper presents our research in reusing collaborative knowledge generated in a knowledge building process as learning objects. We describe the implementation and evaluation of AnnForum - a system which can dynamically annotate and classify collaborative knowledge and detect messages which are relevant to current discussion topics and present them to the learners. With the help of AnnForum, a new knowledge building process can be built, based upon previous accumulated knowledge instead of starting from scratch.
