@inproceedings{zaiane2002building, abstract = {A recommender system in an e-learning context is a software agent that tries to "intelligently" recommend actions to a learner based on the actions of previous learners. This recommendation could be an on-line activity such as doing an exercise, reading posted messages on a conferencing system, or running an on-line simulation, or could be simply a web resource. These recommendation systems have been tried in e-commerce to entice purchasing of goods, but haven't been tried in e-learning. This paper suggests the use of web mining techniques to build such an agent that could recommend on-line learning activities or shortcuts in a course web site based on learners' access history to improve course material navigation as well as assist the online learning process. These techniques are considered integrated web mining as opposed to off-line web mining used by expert users to discover on-line access patterns.}, address = {Washington, DC, USA }, author = {Zaiane, O.R.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Computers in Education}, doi = {10.1109/CIE.2002.1185862}, interhash = {fce17e1e38b714031e92357f6f5877f5}, intrahash = {df8fdf1b3452eabdecd64d0f3f4472dc}, isbn = {0-7695-1509-6}, month = dec, organization = {IEEE Computer Society}, pages = {55--59}, title = {Building a recommender agent for e-learning systems}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1185862}, volume = 1, year = 2002 } @inproceedings{Zaianeetal98, author = {Zaïane, O.R. and Xin, M. and Han, J.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Advances in Digital Libraries Conference (ADL'98)}, interhash = {f1f9baa62aa1e5426290c2b5d70e6e98}, intrahash = {1367d4e31e7122004d002a250ad23883}, location = {Santa Barbara, CA}, month = Apr, pages = {19--29}, title = {Discovering Web access patterns and trends by applying OLAP and data mining technology on Web logs}, year = 1998 } @article{ZaianeSimoff03, author = {Zaïane, O.R. and Simoff, S.J.}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}, interhash = {38ce81529e3b7527655b6fa0049926ea}, intrahash = {7a6bf1f7aed80780a5b73db192d3bed5}, journal = {SIGKDD Explorations}, number = 2, publisher = {ACM}, title = {MDM/KDD: Multimedia data mining for the second time}, volume = 3, year = 2003 }
