Merging learning objects automatically

Abstract

Several approaches have been proposed to recommend the most suitable Learning Object (LO) according to student's profile. It gauges the similarity between the student's profile and metadata of stored LOs. A recovery function is used in most of these alternatives; the highest value means a high degree of matching with the user's needs. Usually the user has the option to pick out a LO of the ranked list to look through it. When recovery function does not find a LO, which fulfills user's requirements or it was ranked too low to be considered "suitable", it is required to build a more appropriate one. The combination of two or more LOs adds new content to the new LO so it might be closer to the user's needs. This paper shows an approach to do so which is incremental because let us gather knowledge by means of merging LOs.
