For this assignment, I am using Udemy learning available @ https://www.udemy.com/. The website provides a variety of highly-rated content and learning materials from topics that covers a wide range of learning. The site can be accessed for a paid subscription or by purchasing select courses. Udemy provides individual as well as corporate accounts where the materials are accessible to all employees.
From a review of the information available on the web, Udemy recommends different courses for individuals. For corporate account users, the organization can recommend the courses to its employees as well. The site tracks the progress of the individuals and sends reminders as well as keeps a history of all the courses completed.
After performing the sentimental analysis in R, I thought Udemy may be using a similar approach to come up with a course recommendation at the individual level. However, the limitation to this approach is that the site will have to wait for the user to provide information to the platform such as by selecting topics of interest as well as by performing a sentimental analysis of the words that the user uses in the search field. The site would have no way to figure out what course would be a good fit for the user before they provide these inputs.
In the registration process, Udemy can as the user for their role. For example, an IT manager, a Data Scientist, or a Professor of Biology. Based on this information, Udemy can provide the user with a list of the most latest learning material in the field. This will be especially helpful for people who may have an aptitude for learning but may not know what to explore. In addition, this approach may provide the user with a new perspective on their learning profile where they may get exposure to courses that they would have not known existed.
