Abstract

An on-demand learning system provides an enhanced leaning environment capable of delivering relevant content on virtually any topic to specific learners. The learning system implements technical features that facilitate curation and subject matter validation of many different types of content. The technical architecture of the learning system also supports intelligent matching of learners to subject matter areas, creation of specific subject matter boards, and resilient maintenance of the boards.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate with:
an entity profile database;
and
a content database comprising:
individual pre-defined content interfaces that aggregate available substantive content assets into topic specific areas;
and
content tags that characterize the substantive content assets;
and
content analysis circuitry in communication with the communication interface, the content analysis circuitry configured to:
retrieve, from the entity profile database, entity characteristic data for a content consuming entity and a learning plan;
retrieve, from the content database, the content tags;
compare the entity characteristic data against the content tags to determine a plurality of matching content interfaces among the content interfaces;
generate a personalized content portal for the content consuming entity to display the matching content interfaces in an arrangement in accordance with the learning plan and the content tags, the matching content interfaces linked to the personalized content portal and visually represented in the personalized content portal with content interface tiles generated by the communication interface for each of the matching content interfaces;
filter the matching content interfaces, in response to changes in the entity characteristic data, the learning plan or a combination of both, to direct the communication interface to:
selectively unlink some of the matching content interfaces linked to the personalized content portal in response to the some of the matching content interfaces no longer being a match;
remove content interface tiles corresponding to the some of the matching content interfaces no longer being a match;
and
dynamically re-order and adjust a visual arrangement of the content interface tiles remaining in the personalized content portal to present the content interface tiles remaining in the personalized content portal in an order of relevance determined by the content analysis circuitry.

A system comprising:

a communication interface configured to communicate with a database comprising:
a learning plan;
a plurality of content interfaces aggregated into a topic specific area;
and
content tags that characterize the substantive content assets;
and
content building circuitry in communication with the communication interface, the content building circuitry configured to:
implement a curator input interface into the database, the curator input interface configured to:
generate a content interface preview to enable modification and save of the content interfaces, enable monitoring of progress of a content consuming entity toward completion of content interfaces associated with the learning plan, and enable specification of a suggested content asset for the content consuming entity;
receive content interface building directives through the content interface preview to specify the suggested content asset for a specified content interface;
content analysis circuitry configured to:
associate a content tag for the specified content interface with the suggested content asset;
compare entity characteristics of the content consuming entity against the content tags to determine a plurality of matching content interfaces among the content interfaces;
generate the content portal for the content consuming entity to display respective content interface tiles generated by the communication interface for each of the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface in an arrangement by selectively linking the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface to the content portal;
filter the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface in response to changes in the entity characteristics, the learning plan or a combination of both to direct the communication interface to:
selectively and dynamically unlink some of the matching content interfaces linked to the content portal;
remove content interface tiles corresponding to unlinked matching content interfaces;
re-order and adjust, in accordance with the learning plan, a visual arrangement of respective content interface tiles for each of the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface that are remaining in the content portal;
and
direct the communication interface to generate and display in the content portal the re-ordered and adjusted visual arrangement of respective content interface tiles for each of the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface such that the content portal is personalized for the content consuming entity.

content analysis circuitry in communication with the communication interface, the content analysis circuitry configured to:
retrieve, from the entity profile database, entity characteristics for a content consuming entity;
retrieve, from the content database, the content tags;
compare the entity characteristics against the content tags to filter the content interfaces to a set of the corresponding content interfaces that match the entity characteristics;
link the matching set of the corresponding content interfaces to a content portal for the content consuming entity;
arrange display of respective content interface tiles generated by the communication interface for each of the corresponding content interfaces in a display order in accordance with the learning plan to:
filter the matching set of content interfaces in response to changes in the entity characteristics, the learning plan or a combination of both;
direct the communication interface to selectively and dynamically unlink some of the matching content interfaces linked to the content portal;
remove content interface tiles corresponding to unlinked matching content interfaces;
re-order and adjust, in accordance with the learning plan, a visual arrangement of respective content interface tiles for each of the matching content interfaces and the specified content interface that are remaining in the content portal in accordance with an order of relevance determined by the content analysis circuitry.
