We present a new concept prerequisite learning method for Learning Object (LO) ordering that exploits only linguistic features extracted from textual educational resources.The method was tested in a cross-and indomain scenario both for Italian and English.Additionally, we performed experiments based on a incremental training strategy to study the impact of the training set size on the classifier performances.The paper also introduces ITA-PREREQ, to the best of our knowledge the first Italian dataset annotated with prerequisite relations between pairs of educational concepts, and describe the automatic strategy devised to build it.
