A suggested algorithm of recoininender system to recommend learning objects from digital library to learning management system

Abstract

Digital Library (DL) and Learning Management System (LMS) have been widely used in many educational institutes without any integration of their local LMS and local DL, which let students suffer from Information Overload problem arising from searching DL. This study provides background of DL, LMS and Recommendation Systems (RS) as well as some examples. In addition, it discusses the suitability of main RS approaches to recommend digital objects from DL to support students' needs. Finally, it presents a new proposal of RS algorithm in LMS which could automatically recommend suitable digital learning objects from a big list of DL. © Medwell Journals, 2010.
