Agent-Based Recommendation in E-Learning Environment Using Knowledge Discovery and Machine Learning Approaches

E-learning is a popular area in terms of learning from social media websites in various terms and contents for every group of people in this world with different knowledge backgrounds and jobs. E-learning sites help users such as students, business workers, instructors, and those searching for different educational institutions. Excluding the benefits of this system, there are various challenges that the users face in online platforms. One of the important challenges is the true information and right content based on these resources, search results and quality. This research proposes virtual and intelligent agent-based recommendation, which requires users’ profile information and preferences to recommend the proper content and search results based on their search history. We applied Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and semantic analysis approaches for the recommendation of course selection to e-learners and tutors. Moreover, machine learning performance analysis applied to improve the user rating results in the e-learning environment. The system automatically learns and analyzes the learner characteristics and processes the learning style through the clustering strategy
