Optimization of Online Learning Resource Adaptation in Higher Education through Neural Network Approaches

With the advent of the digital era, the quantity and variety of online higher education learning resources have expanded rapidly. The efficient adaptation of suitable resources to meet the needs of learners with specific requirements has become crucial for improving learning outcomes. Although current online learning resource recommendation systems have made some progress in matching resources, they still face challenges related to the inadequate integration of resource features and a superficial understanding of learners’ needs. These challenges hinder the achievement of personalized and precise matching, affecting learners’ study efficiency and the effective utilization of educational resources. This study first analyzes the importance of adapting online higher education learning resources and the limitations of existing research. Subsequently, a novel neural network optimization strategy is proposed. The research comprises two main parts. Firstly, the self-attention-convolutional neural network (SA-CNN) model is employed for the deep integration of the content features of online learning resources. This aims to enhance the comprehensiveness of resource descriptions. Secondly, a deep-metric attention model is introduced to accurately model and adapt to learners’ needs. This approach not only optimizes the feature representation of learning resources but also enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of the recommendation system towards learners’ requirements. This study is of significant importance for improving the performance of higher education online learning resource recommendation systems. It also provides new insights into the construction of personalized learning paths and ensuring the balanced allocation of educational resources.
