Learning Activity Sharing and Individualized Recommendation Based on Dynamical Correlation Discovery

In this study, we concentrate on learning activity sharing and individualized recommendation based on dynamical user correlations, in order to support and facilitate the web-based learning process integrated with social streams. A user correlation-based learning activity model is built to demonstrate the relations among user, learning task and learning activity. Based on these, an integrated method is proposed to provide a target user with the possible learning activity as the next learning step, which is expected to enhance the learning efficiency. Finally, design of a Moodle-based prototype system is discussed.
