A Distillation Approach to Refining Learning Objects.
John Champaign, Robin A Cohen · 2010
McCalla's ecological approach to e-learning systems [2] is described as “attaching models of learners to the learning objects they interact with, and then mining these models for patterns that are useful for various purposes.” The starting point of our research is to honour McCalla's ecological approach by identifying which users in a system are similar to each other, to then preferentially recommend learning objects that similar students have found useful.
