[Software source code and documentation] Available under the three clause BSD licence, Copyright TENCompetence Foundation.The Open University of the Netherlands designed a prototypical Personalised Recommendation System (PRS) and evaluated it in a first experimental field study, attended by around 180 students. The PRS recommends most suitable learning activities to learners, by taking into account their personal profile and the (successful) behavior from other (similar) learners. We used a special kind of collaborative filtering technique, called stereotype filtering, and combined this with an ontology.The work on this publication has been sponsored by the TENCompetence Integrated Project that is funded by the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme, priority IST/Technology Enhanced Learning.
