Collaborative Recommender System: A Review

Recommender system is widely used in various domains to assist users in finding items that relate to their needs. The collaborate filtering method is one of the popular methods in recommender systems. By using collaborative filtering method, users can make an assessment of the item based on other user experience. This method is very beneficial in education domain to assist student in getting a learning object that can help them in learning process. However, there is no review focusing on the use of the collaborative recommender system in education. Hence, the objective of this study is to review the state of the art of collaborative recommender system in education. This study reviewed twenty six articles based on recommender system components such as input, method and the output of the system. The overview and the applications of collaborative recommender system in education then discussed.
