Mentor is a Learning Design Recommender System. It is compatible with the Instructional Management Standards Learning Design Specification (IMS LD) specification, which is the dominant specification for Learning Designs.

An important part of Mentor’s design is the incorporation of explanations into it. Mentor has been integrated into LAMS, a well-known system that enables teachers to create, manage and execute Learning Designs. Mentor recommends to teachers Learning Designs based on the reuse of existing ones. Teachers can modify a suggested Learning Design and use it as a starting point for creating their own.
