In this era of intelligence, the learning methods of learners have substantially changed. Many learners choose to learn through online education platforms. Although learners may enjoy more high-quality educational resources, when they are faced with an abundance of resource information, they are prone to become lost in knowledge, among other problems. To solve this problem, a multi-algorithm collaborative, personalized, learning path recommendation model is proposed to provide learning guidance for learners of online learning platforms. First, the learner model is constructed from four perspectives: cognitive level, learning ability, learning style, and learning intensity. Second, the association rule algorithm is employed to generate a sequence of knowledge points and to plan the learning sequence of knowledge points for learners. Last, the swarm intelligence algorithm is utilized to ensure that each knowledge point is matched with personalized learning resources with a higher degree of adaptability so that learners can learn using a more targeted approach. The experimental results show that the research results of this paper can, to a certain extent, recommend ideal learning paths to target users, effectively improve the accuracy of recommended resources, and thus improve the learning quality and learning effect of users.
