Valdés Aguirre, Benjamín; Ramírez Uresti, Jorge A.; du Boulay, Benedict – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
Sharing user information between systems is an area of interest for every field involving personalization. Recommender Systems are more advanced in this aspect than Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) and Intelligent Learning Environments (ILEs). A reason for this is that the user models of Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Intelligent Learning…
