A dynamic recommender system as reinforcement for personalized education by a fuzzly linguistic web system

Abstract

The seek of a personalized and quality education is the objective of Bologna process, but to carry out this task has a major economic impact. To soften this impact, one possible solution is to make use of recommender systems, which have already been introduced in several academic fields. In this paper, we present AyudasCBI, a novel fuzzy linguistic Web system that uses a recommender system to provide personalized activities to students to reinforce their individualized education. This system can be used in order to aid professors to provide students with a personalized monitoring of their studies with less effort. To prove the system, we conduct a study involving some students, aiming at measuring their performance. The results obtained proved to be satisfactory compared with the rest of the students who did not take part of the study.
