• Abstract summary: We suggest a novel method to aid lifelong learners to access relevant OER based learning content to master skills demanded on the labour market. Our software prototype applies Text Classification and Text Mining methods on vacancy announcements to decompose jobs into meaningful skills components. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 12 subject matter experts to learn how our prototype performs in terms of its objectives, logic, and contribution to learning.

• Abstract: In this paper, we suggest a novel method to aid lifelong learners to access relevant OER based learning content to master skills demanded on the labour market. Our software prototype 1) applies Text Classification and Text Mining methods on vacancy announcements to decompose jobs into meaningful skills components, which lifelong learners should target; and 2) creates a hybrid OER Recommender System to suggest personalized learning content for learners to progress towards their skill targets. For the first evaluation of this prototype we focused on two job areas: Data Scientist, and Mechanical Engineer. We applied our skill extractor approach and provided OER recommendations for learners targeting these jobs. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 12 subject matter experts to learn how our prototype performs in terms of its objectives, logic, and contribution to learning. More than 150 recommendations were generated, and 76.9% of these recommendations were treated as useful by the interviewees. Interviews revealed that a personalized OER recommender system, based on skills demanded by labour market, has the potential to improve the learning experience of lifelong learners.

  We show the necessity of external knowledge and goal guidance which contribute significantly to the recommendation accuracy and language quality. We propose a novel ChatCRS framework to decompose the complex CRS task into several sub-tasks. Experimental results on two multi-goal CRS datasets reveal that ChatCRS sets new state-of-the-art benchmarks.

  This paper focuses on the perspective of academic researchers, working in collaboration with the industry, aiming to develop a course recommender system that incorporates job market skill demands. We outline essential properties for course recommender systems to address these demands effectively, including explainable, sequential, unsupervised, and aligned with the job market and user's goals. We introduce an initial system that addresses some existing limitations of course recommender systems using large Language Models (LLMs) for skill extraction and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for alignment with the job market.

  This paper focuses on assessing the effectiveness of prompt-based techniques to empower Large Language Models to handle the task of quality estimation. We conducted systematic experiments with various prompting techniques, including standard prompting, prompts informed by annotator instructions, and innovative chain-of-thought prompting. Our work reveals that combining these approaches using a "small", open source model (orca_mini_v3_7B) yields competitive results.

We find that providing black-box model explanations reduces users' accuracy on the matching task. On the other hand, custom methods that are designed to closely attend to some task-specific desiderata are found to be effective in improving user performance.

  Open Educational Resources (OERs) have potential to contribute to the mitigation of problems, as they are available in a wide range of learning and occupational contexts globally. We suggest a novel, personalised OER recommendation method to match skill development targets with open learning content. This is done by: 1) using an OER quality prediction model based on metadata, OER properties, and content; 2) supporting learners to set individual skill targets based on actual labour market information; and 3) building a personalized OER recommender to help learners to master their skill targets.
