Increasing Student Success by Balancing Students’ Academic Load through Personalized Course Recommendations

Authors: Prateek Basavaraj, & Ivan Garibay

Abstract: Higher education institutions must understand students’ goal orientations, professional and extracurricular load to guide them in selecting suitable courses and the number of courses to take so that they are successful. We propose a system to increase student success by recommending a suitable number of courses based on their goal orientations, an overall load which includes professional and extracurricular activities. We analyzed data to create course recommendations based on goal orientations and professional and extracurricular load. The initial results show that recommendations may help students to actively choose the right set of courses and succeed.
