Recommendation in Personalised Peer-Learning Environments
share
Recommendation in Personalised Peer Learning Environments (RiPPLE) is an adaptive, web-based, student-facing, open-source platform that aims to provide a personalised and flexible learning experience that better suits the needs and expectations of the digitally minded learners of the 21st century. RiPPLE (1) empowers learners to contribute to co-creation of learning content; (2) recommends learning content tailored to the needs of each individual; and (3) recommends peer learning sessions based on the learning preferences and needs of individuals that are interested in providing learning support, seeking learning support or finding study partners. This paper describes the RiPPLE interface and an implementation of that interface that has been built at the University of Queensland. The RiPPLE platform and a reference implementation were released as an open-source package under the Apache 2.0 license in December, 2017 and are available at https://github.com/hkhosrav/RiPPLE-Core.
