Social Collaborative Filtering Approach for Recommending Courses in an E-learning Platform

In recent years, learning online using the e-learning platforms becomes indispensable in the teaching process. Companies and scientific researchers try to find new optimal methods and approaches that can improve education online. In this paper, we propose a new recommendation approach for recommending relevant courses to learners. Our method is based on social filtering and collaborative filtering for defining the best way in which the learner must learn, and recommend courses which better much the learner’s profile and social content.
