From LMS to LXP Extending Moodle with AI-based Recommendations for Learning

Abstract

We propose a Moodle-based LXP (Learning Experience Platform) architecture that extends the classical Moodle LMS (Learning Management System) into LXP. The extension of the Moodle LMS to an LXP is developed to improve the learner’s motivation and to enable personalized learning. The first component in our architecture of the Moodle - based LXP is a recommender component based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It helps learners by proposing appropriate learning resources based on the content they are currently studying. These recommendations are derived from metadata of the learning resources, such as predefined descriptions, number of views, ratings, and comments on the resources.
