Building on our results, we are currently devel-
oping a course recommender system to support espe-
cially students at risk of dropping out (Wagner et al.,
2022). Indeed, if students enroll properly and pass
more courses, they may be less likely to drop out as
Table 2 and 8 suggest. Students may need guidance
for enrolling in the appropriate courses as well as the
appropriate number of courses. Our recommender
system supports these two aspects.
