Construction of Learning Partners Based on Learning Interest

With the rise of the three course provider including Coursera, Udacity and edX in US in 2012, massive open online courses(MOOC), as a new mode of education, boomed a wave of online higher education and swept quickly across the world. MOOC platforms, with a wide range of audience, high quality of curriculum, flexible teaching methods and rich teaching resources, are more and more popular in students. How to improve the learner's learning achievement is a hotspot in the research in MOOCs. In this paper, we use the semantic analysis of the discussion area to reflect the learner's learning interest, and then construct the learner's learning interest model, which can improve the learning achievement. So we provide a construction of learning partners based on learning interest algorithm, through the algorithm CLP, a partner relationship, which have similar learning interests, can be constructed. Finally, an experiment in our MOOC platform is implemented and the result is satisfying.
