Abstract

Among the refugees of the war in Ukraine, there is an above-average number of academics, who should be able to continue their university studies abroad. Here, digital media can lower access barriers, but lack of knowledge of the language or the education system in the host country hampers participation. In addition, needs vary from person to person, which makes counseling processes complex. This article presents a cross- institutional recommendation system that proposes personalized recommendations for suitable learning paths and makes appropriate educational opportunities accessible. We present the system's structure and mode of operation, based on the currently developed national infrastructure for digital education in Germany, as well as initial findings from its evaluation based on the use case of Ukrainian refugee students.

Keyphrases: adaptive learning, educational recommender, national infrastructure for education, student counseling
