Abstract
The aim of a recommender system is to estimate the relevance of a set of objects belonging to a given domain, starting from the information available about users and objects. Adaptive e-learning systems are able to automatically generate personalized learning experiences starting from a learner profile and a set of target learning goals. Starting form research results of these fields we defined a methodology and developed a software prototype able to recommend learning goals and to generate learning experiences for learners using an adaptive e-learning system. The prototype has been integrated within IWT: an existing commercial solution for personalized e-learning and experimented in a graduate computer science course. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
