Abstract
Course recommender system aims at predicting the best combination of courses selected by students. Here in this paper we present how the combination of clustering algorithm- Simple K-means Algorithm & association rule algorithm- Apriori Association Rule is useful in Course Recommender system. If we use only the Apriori association rule algorithm then we need to preprocess the data obtained from Moodle database. But if we use this combination of clustering & association rule then there is no need to preprocess the data. So we present this new approach & also present the result. To test the result we have used the open source data mining tool Weka.
