Network system for contextual course recommendation based on third-party content

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for identifying and presenting contextual course recommendations. A browser extension analyzes text within web content that is being displayed on a computing device. The browser extension, as part of the analysis, identifies one or more keywords. The browser extension transmits the one or more keywords over a computer network to a remote computer system. For each keyword, the remote computer system identifies one or more courses and one or more relevance scores, each of which reflects a relevance measure between the keyword and a course of the one or more courses. The remote system transmits, to the browser extension, course identification data that identifies one or more particular courses. The browser extension causes the course identification data to be displayed on the computing device.
