A traditional-learning time predictive approach for e-learning systems in challenging environments

Abstract

The explosion of world-wide-web has offered people a large number of online courses, e-classes and e-schools. Such e-learning applications contain a wide variety of learning materials which can confuse the choices of learner to select. Although the area of recommender systems has made a significant progress over the last several years to address this problem, the issue remained fairly unexplored for challenging environments. This paper proposes an approach to predict traditional-learning times for recommender systems in such environments.
