Students flock to online services like Amazon, Pandora, and Netflix that offer personalized recommendations, a stark contrast from the "one size fits all" services in higher education. In this session, we will present Sherpa, a recommendation engine for courses, information, and services that utilizes both human and machine intelligence.
