    Context based learning: a survey of contextual indicators for personalized and adaptive learning recommendations – a pedagogical and technical perspective
    Learning personalization has proven its effectiveness in enhancing learner performance. Therefore, modern digital learning platforms have been increasingly depending on recommendation systems to offer learners personalized suggestions of learning materials. Learners can utilize those recommendations to acquire certain skills for the labor market or for their formal education. Personalization can be based on several factors, such as personal preference, social connections or learning context. In an educational environment, the learning context plays an important role in generating sound recommendations, which not only fulfill the preferences of the learner, but also correspond to the pedagogical goals of the learning process. This is because a learning context describes the actual situation of the learner at the moment of requesting a learning recommendation. It provides information about the learner’s current state of knowledge, goal orientation, motivation, needs, available time, and other factors that reflect their status and may influence how learning recommendations are perceived and utilized. Context-aware recommender systems have the potential to reflect the logic that a learning expert may follow in recommending materials to students with respect to their status and needs. During the last decade, several approaches have emerged in the literature to define the learning context and the factors that may capture it. Those approaches led to different definitions of contextualized learner-profiles. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art approaches for defining a user’s learning-context. We provide an overview of the definitions available, as well as the different factors that are considered when defining a context. Moreover, we further investigate the links between those factors and their pedagogical foundations in learning theories. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of contextualized learning from both pedagogical and technical points of view. By combining those two viewpoints, we aim to bridge a gap between both domains, in terms of contextualizing learning recommendations.

    Das vorliegende Dossier erläutert zunächst, was Recommendersysteme sind und wie sie technisch umgesetzt werden. Nachfolgend wird aufgezeigt, zu welchem Zweck Recommendersysteme beim technologiegestützten Lernen eingesetzt werden – sowohl im Bildungsbereich allgemein als auch speziell in der beruflichen Weiterbildung. Der größere Teil dieses Dossiers widmet sich anschließend spezifischen Herausforderungen der Entwicklung und Implementierung konkreter Recommendersysteme auf digitalen Weiterbildungsplattformen. Dabei werden basierend auf der bestehenden Literatur und Aussagen von Expert_innen Handlungsempfehlungen aufgeführt. Insgesamt soll das vorliegende Dossier damit den Einsatz von Recommendersystemen in der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung sowohl aus technischer als auch didaktischer Perspektive beleuchten.
