Recommendation approaches for e-learners: a survey

Recommending relevant content to the learner is a challenging task for any e-Learning management system. This paper has critically reviewed the literature and identified the strategies being used to recommend relevant content to learners. This paper highlights the strength and limitations of prominent approaches and has presented challenging tasks which will be useful for the e-Learning research community to focus for the future research.
