Cover Story: Educational platforms generate vast amounts of interaction data, yet most learners still navigate online courses without personalized guidance. This work presents a practical and pedagogically grounded framework for integrating Educational Recommender Systems into real learning environments like Moodle. Unlike most existing research, which remains at a prototype level, this work demonstrates a full system implementation capable of processing learner behavior, detecting performance risk, and recommending meaningful next-learning steps. The proposed architecture supports transparency, learner autonomy, and ethical data use, while adapting recommendations to different student profiles. A real use case illustrates its feasibility and educational value, bridging the gap between recommender system theory and real classroom adoption. View this paper
