Overview

A new feature, along the lines of rating system, which would allow users to rate courses and send recommendations to other users on the site. These recommendations could be sent to one user, a group of colleagues, team, etc.

The suggestion would be to have a block which could also be added to the dashboard, for example, displaying "Recommended courses".

There could also be a new column in the Course Catalog which could show a star rating (where rated), or recommended courses could have an icon to signal that this course is recommended.

Hi Mark

There is a recommendation engine that can be set up that uses machine learning to provide content to a Recommended for you block 

This was added in Totara 13 and is quite a high tech solution

A low tech solution would be to use Engage content that asks questions on courses and liking or commenting on this. Using the number of likes and discussions would help to decide if a course is suitable.
