Abstract

A learning system including an information bus, a student information system, a content repository, a learning content management system, and a learning engine is provided. The student information system, the content repository, the learning content management system, and the learning engine each publish messages to the information bus and subscribe to messages from the information bus. The learning system may present and track the efficacy of both learning map-based course materials and traditional course materials. Methods of using a learning system and creating course learning maps are also presented.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A learning system, comprising:

a. an information bus;
b. a student information system configured to publish student information and class information on the information bus;
c. a learning content management system configured to store sequential course content and to publish sequential course content to the information bus;
d. a learning engine configured to store learning map course content, to track student interaction with learning map course content, and to publish the learning map course content, next action recommendations, learning content recommendations, competency mastery and probability information, and learning map transactional data to the information bus, the learning map transactional data comprising student interaction with learning map course content;
e. a learning management system configured to subscribe to the sequential course content, the learning map course content, next action recommendations, class information and student information from the information bus, to present the sequential course content and the learning map course content to students, to track student interaction with sequential course content and to publish sequential transactional data to the information bus, the sequential transactional data comprising student interaction with the sequential course content;
and
f. a learning analytics system configured to subscribe to the learning content recommendations and the competency mastery and probability information, sequential transactional data and learning map transactional data from the information bus, and to publish aggregated effectiveness patterns and probability information to the information bus.

4 more elements

A method for presenting instructional materials, comprising:

a. ingesting instructional materials into a learning map engine;
b. conducting a gap analysis on a base learning map prepared by the learning map engine;
c. preparing a complete learning map from the base learning map and the gap analysis;
d. from the complete learning map, creating a first course learning map including a first subset of learning nodes of the complete learning map;
e. from the complete learning map, creating a second course learning map including a second subset of learning nodes of the complete learning map;
and
f. individually presenting content associated with the first course learning map via computer interface to a plurality of students as the plurality of students traverse the first course learning map.
