Recommender Systems for MOOCs: A Systematic Literature Survey (January 1, 2012 – July 12, 2019)

In recent years, massive open online courses (MOOCs) have gained popularity with learners and providers, and thus MOOC providers have started to further enhance the use of MOOCs through recommender systems. This paper is a systematic literature review on the use of recommender systems for MOOCs, ex...
