PROJECT TITLE :

Recommender System and Web 2.0 Tools to Enhance a Blended Learning Model

ABSTRACT:

Blended learning models that mix face-to-face and on-line learning are of nice importance in modern higher education. But, their development ought to be according to the recent changes in e-learning that emphasize a student-focused approach and use tools out there on the Web to support the learning process. This paper presents analysis on implementing a contemporary blended learning model at intervals the e-course “Hypermedia Supported Education”. The blended model developed combines a learning management system (LMS), a set of Web two.0 tools and also the E-Learning Activities Recommender System (ELARS) to boost customized online learning. Along with incorporating numerous technologies, the model combines a variety of pedagogical approaches, that specialize in collaborative and downside-primarily based learning, to make sure the achievement of the course learning outcomes. The results of the comparative study show the effectiveness of the proposed model in that students who performed personalized collaborative e-learning activities achieved higher course results. These findings encourage the further application of the model to other pc science courses.
