摘要： Techniques can construct a learner's educational context (e.g., course enrollments, subject-matter interests, and/or activity involvements) and tailor query processing using the educational context. For a given query, each concept in a set of concepts can be assigned a weight. The weight can depend on a query term in the query. For example, for a query including “North America”, a “geography” concept and a “history” concept can be determined to be related to the query, and weights can be influenced accordingly. Weights can also depend on a user's educational context (e.g., such that the “geography” weight is higher when a learner is enrolled in a geography course). A query time can also be analyzed in view of schedule data (e.g., indicating when particular topics are to be studied in a course). Weights can further depend on which concepts are recently, currently or will soon be of interest based on the schedule.

摘要翻译： 技术可以构建学习者的教育背景（例如，课程注册，主题兴趣和/或活动参与），并使用教育背景定制查询处理。 对于给定的查询，一组概念中的每个概念可以被分配一个权重。 权重可以取决于查询中的查询项。 例如，对于包括“北美”的查询，可以将“地理”概念和“历史”概念确定为与查询相关，并且可以相应地影响权重。 权重还可以取决于用户的教育背景（例如，当学习者注册在地理课程中时，“地理”权重更高）。 还可以根据时间表数据来分析查询时间（例如，指示何时在课程中研究特定主题）。 权重可以进一步取决于最近，哪些概念，或者很快将根据时间表感兴趣。
