A Personalized MOOC Learning Group and Course Recommendation Method Based on Graph Neural Network and Social Network Analysis
Project Overview
The document explores the integration of generative AI in education through the development of a personalized recommendation system for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that leverages Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Graph Neural Networks (GNN). This innovative system aims to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes by analyzing the relationships between students, courses, and educators to deliver customized course and study group recommendations. The findings underscore the significance of recognizing students' course preferences and their influence on learning engagement, demonstrating the potential of AI-assisted teaching methods to foster personalized learning experiences. By tailoring educational pathways to individual needs, the system seeks to improve the quality of online learning and promote more effective educational practices. Overall, the document illustrates how generative AI can transform education by facilitating personalized learning environments that cater to the diverse preferences and interactions among learners.
