An E-learning Support Middleware with MOOC course recommendation

Nowadays, more and more MOOC systems are established in universities with massive and growing courses. However, the students, or called E-learners, outside the campus are hard to get assistance of teachers or educational department to design an appropriate learning route to their desired occupations. Although they may have a part time teacher in campus, such work is often overlooked due to efforts and time limitation. In this paper, an E-learning Support Middleware with MOOC course recommendation is put forward. This middleware leverage Vector Space Model(VSM) and be able to automatically recommend appropriate courses according to the descriptions of the capabilities of the desired occupations and the descriptions of courses. This study is able to help the off-campus students arrange their study.
