Abstract	The rapid expansion of digital education has created an extensive range of learning resources, including digital textbooks, recorded lectures, interactive modules, assessment materials, multimedia content, research resources, and open educational resources. Although this expansion provides learners with greater access to educational materials, it also creates challenges related to information overload, content selection, relevance, and individualized learning pathways. Intelligent content recommendation systems provide a technological approach to these challenges by applying artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, learner modeling, and learning analytics to identify and recommend educational resources according to learner requirements. This study examines intelligent content recommendation systems for digital education through a conceptual and literature-based research design. The analysis focuses on learner profiling, collaborative filtering, content-based recommendation, hybrid recommendation, knowledge tracing, semantic analysis, contextual recommendation, and AI-supported personalization. Intelligent recommendation systems can potentially improve content accessibility, personalize learning experiences, support learner engagement, and reduce the time required to locate relevant educational resources. For educators, recommendation technologies can assist in identifying appropriate instructional materials and designing differentiated learning activities. However, recommendation systems also present challenges involving data privacy, algorithmic bias, recommendation accuracy, cold-start problems, explainability, content quality, interoperability, and excessive personalization. The study proposes an integrated framework connecting learner characteristics, educational context, content representation, intelligent recommendation, learner interaction, feedback, and continuous system adaptation. The analysis suggests that intelligent content recommendation can strengthen digital education when recommendation processes are transparent, pedagogically relevant, diverse, and subject to appropriate human oversight. Future research should examine explainable recommendation models, multimodal educational content, privacy-preserving personalization, adaptive recommendation, knowledge graphs, generative AI, and longitudinal effects on learner achievement and autonomy.
