Abstract

Competency-based educational recommender systems enable personalized learning, but the absence of standardized benchmark datasets prevents systematic algorithmic comparison. This thesis develops a platform for collaborative competency relationship data collection with four objectives: a generalized database model, authentication systems for credential verification, administrative interfaces for dataset management and export, and production deployment infrastructure. The system enables systematic collection of high-quality competency mapping data for creating reliable benchmarks.
