Abstract

See full text

A method for managing a forum of a MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) system customizes the presentation of forum questions to each individual viewing student in a way that optimizes the likelihood of questions posted on the forum being answered by competent students. The system rates the students' academic abilities using information gathered from their activities on the MOOCs system. When a student browses the forum, the forum questions are sorted and presented to the viewing student in an order that takes into account the subjects of the questions and the student's academic ability in various subjects, so that questions on subjects in which the student excels are displayed near the top of the list of postings. The sorting may consider other factors including language, locale, past forum activities, and proximity of the questions posting time and the time period when the viewing student frequently accesses the forum.
