Our Research

Our multidisciplinary research combines technology-enhanced learning, artificial intelligence, user modeling, and software engineering to develop the next generation of personalized online learning. It shapes how eDoer supports high-quality, adaptive, and skill-oriented education through structured onboarding, healthcare education, and role-specific learning paths. To meet learners' needs for job-relevant skills, personal interests, and curated knowledge, we investigate several key questions and themes:

  • How can AI turn expert knowledge and materials into reliable, personalized learning paths, from patient and nursing education to other specialized domains?
  • What learning designs and platform requirements best support practical onboarding and upskilling, for health staff and other professional teams?
  • How can learner preferences and progress data improve recommendations and adapt curricula to different roles, goals, and contexts?

Selected publications

A compact overview of selected work on AI-supported learning, open educational resources, curriculum development, and personalization.

AI recommendations2022Elsevier

An AI-based open recommender system for personalized labor market driven education

We introduced eDoer as an AI-driven recommender that connects learner goals, labor-market skills, and open educational resources, and validated it in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with learners.

Healthcare relevance: The same logic can support role-based health staff onboarding and continuing education.

Outcome alignment2026ACM

Embedding-Based Rankings of Educational Resources based on Learning Outcome Alignment: Benchmarking, Expert Validation, and Learner Performance

We benchmarked embedding-based rankings for learning-outcome alignment, validated them with experts, and linked them to learner performance in a three-group randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Healthcare relevance: For healthcare, this helps check whether a resource really supports a required competency or patient-learning goal.

Human-AI validation2026Elsevier

Personalized Curricula Through Human-AI Collaboration: Open Learning Platform Development and Validation from Two Experiments on Knowledge Acquisition

We developed a human-AI workflow for personalized curriculum creation and validated the platform in two pre-post randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing it with Moodle on knowledge acquisition.

Healthcare relevance: This is highly relevant for healthcare, where experts need trustworthy AI support to build and validate learning paths quickly.

View publication
AI interface design2025Springer

Designing Effective LLM-Assisted Interfaces for Curriculum Development

We designed and evaluated LLM-assisted interfaces that reduce prompt-engineering effort for curriculum authors.

Healthcare relevance: This supports busy educators and health professionals who need practical authoring tools.

View publication
Personalized answers2025Springer

LLM-Driven Personalized Answer Generation and Evaluation

We studied how LLMs can generate learner-specific answers and how those answers can be evaluated automatically and by humans.

Healthcare relevance: This points toward clearer explanations for patients, relatives, staff, and other learner groups.

LLM curriculum design2024Springer

Beyond Search Engines: Can Large Language Models Improve Curriculum Development?

We evaluated whether LLMs can generate useful course topics and help refresh curricula beyond conventional search workflows.

Healthcare relevance: The approach can help experts draft first versions of training paths in healthcare and other domains.

OER quality2021ACM

Metadata analysis of open educational resources

We analyzed OER metadata and showed how metadata signals can help predict resource quality across repositories.

Healthcare relevance: This matters when patient or staff education depends on trusted, well-described learning content.

View publication
Video recommendations2020IEEE

A recommender system for open educational videos based on skill requirements

We built a prototype that links job-skill requirements with open educational videos and recommends relevant learning content.

Healthcare relevance: This can transfer to clinical training videos, nursing skills, and practical onboarding paths.

View publication
Human-AI curriculum2022ACM

Hybrid human-AI curriculum development for personalised informal learning environments

We combined AI recommendations and expert input to help contributors create and update personalized curricula.

Healthcare relevance: This fits fast-changing healthcare knowledge, where experts must keep learning paths current.

View publication
Quality metrics2020Springer

Quality evaluation of open educational resources

We defined and evaluated quality metrics that help authors and platforms assess open educational resources.

Healthcare relevance: Quality checks are especially valuable for sensitive learning contexts such as patient education.

View publication
Learning ontology2021Springer

EduCOR: An educational and career-oriented recommendation ontology

We contributed to an ontology for representing learning resources, skills, user profiles, and recommendations in a connected structure.

Healthcare relevance: A shared structure makes it easier to model complex domains such as healthcare without losing cross-domain flexibility.
