SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOMMENDING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A recommender system for recommending clustering of students into educational groups, the recommender system comprising:
- a processor for executing a series of programmable instructions for;
receiving a request to recommend a course of action related to a plurality of current students;
accessing student data relating to a plurality of students including granular assessment data, wherein the granular assessment data includes a result of an assessment administered to respective students of the plurality of students, wherein each assessment includes a plurality of questions for assessing one of the students and the associated result includes an independent evaluation of each respective question of the plurality of questions;
clustering the plurality of current students into a selected number of clusters based at least on the granular assessment data associated with student data corresponding to respective current students of the plurality of current students, wherein the selected number is at least two; and
outputting the results of the clustering to a user.

Abstract
An educational recommender system and a method are provided. The method includes receiving a request to recommend a course of action related to a plurality of current students; accessing a computer database storing student data that corresponds to the plurality of current students; clustering in a computer process the plurality of current students into at least two clusters based at least on granular assessment data associated with student data corresponding to respective current students; and outputting the results of the clustering to a user. The granular assessment data includes a result of an assessment administered to respective students of the plurality of current students, and each assessment includes a plurality of questions for assessing one of the current students. The associated result includes an independent evaluation of each respective question of the plurality of questions.
