Abstract

Web search has often been used as a starting point to learn. Search as Learning (SAL) research aims at supporting learning activities through techniques such as user interface optimization, retrieval, and ranking. In this work, we investigate the possibility of re-ranking search engine results towards learning to improve the overall knowledge gain of the learner. We make two contributions: (1) proposing a framework for re-ranking search results by attributing the overall knowledge gain to viewed documents in the session. (2) Applying this framework to a SAL evaluation dataset. We show that the ranking can be significantly improved with respect to knowledge gain by using ranking and content features.
