LTfLL - D6.1: Social and informal learning support design

Abstract

The goal of this Workpackage is to develop services that facilitate learners and tutors in accessing formal and informal knowledge sources in the context of a learning task. More specifically, we will support the learner through a personalized search. A Common Semantic Framework will be developed which will provide recommendations on the basis of the user profile, his interests, his preferences, his network and obviously the learning task. An advantage of this system with respect to a standard Google search is that the list of search results will be prioritized and categorized according to the conditions specified by the learners. In addition, a trust dimension will be added since the output proposed will take into account the opinions of the user's trusted network of friends.
