Abstract :
The distance education has tended to cyberization, and how learners study in a collaborative way becomes a key issue. This paper presented a learning communities algorithm based on interest similarity, which can cluster learners with similar interests into the same community and help then collaborative learn. The experiments show that this mechanism can improve efficiency and scalability.
