Development of an e-Learning Recommender System Using Discrete Choice Models and Bayesian Theory: A Pilot Case in the Shipping Industry

The field of e-learning and self-learning has rapidly evolved during the past decade mainly because of major advances in telecommunications and information technologies, in particular the widespread use of web and mobile applications. Furthermore, the work environment conditions in most industries have become extremely demanding and competitive; therefore various forms of life-long learning appear to play an important role for employees’ career development, as well as for companies’ productivity improvement and human resources’ efficiency. The flexibility, and cost effectiveness that e-learning offers is very significant, in most cases.
