The one thing that is truly the secret sauce is “recommend, not prescribe”. We’ve all seen the poorly recommended Amazon book. Too often in L&D, we try to guide too strongly (prescribe). No equation will be perfect and the engine and artificial intelligence will soon show it’s artificial stupidity. I think there is high value to use data mining and algorithms to drive recommendations that a learner may not be aware of, or biased to recognizing. However, I think the human element- good old common sense- and choice is the key to really making the framework a success.

One thing that I see in your framework design is a “solve for X” mentality. The variable may be user, success criteria, location- each of the components may be the variable in the context that changes the system response. That’s the flexibility I see to being critical in making an effective framework.
