Abstract: In this chapter we propose hybrid recommendation techniques for Personalised Recommendation Services (PRS) as a novel approach to set up individualised navigation in Learning Networks. Such an approach combines the collaborative filtering of information about others' behaviour with matching information connected to individual learners and activities. Such an hybrid approach or recommendation strategy has hardly been used in education but appears powerful to address some of the practical problems that practitioners will face when using either technique alone. Some common problems, like the cold-start problem for collaborative filtering and the problem of maintaining metadata information for learners and learning activities, will be described. This chapter will also serve as an introduction to the remaining three chapters of this navigation section and introduce the main concepts involved in providing (individualised) navigation services.
