Abstract
Systems and methods for virtual learning environments, such as those, for example, configured to assist in evaluating a user, including the competency of a user, in a field of interest.
Claims111
A method of evaluating a user of a virtual learning environment comprising:
- presenting a user with a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- permitting the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the first scenario;
- identifying a value, if any, corresponding to the one or more user selections;
- using at least one of the one or more user selections and the corresponding values, if any, to determine a second scenario;
- presenting the user with the second scenario;
- and
- permitting the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the second scenario.
A method of determining user competency in a virtual learning environment comprising:
- presenting a user with a plurality of assessments in a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- permitting the user to respond to each of the plurality of assessments;
- identifying a value corresponding to each user response to the plurality of assessments, if any;
- and
- determining, with an algorithm, a user competency level.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media with instructions executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- present a user with a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- permit the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the first scenario;
- identify a value, if any, corresponding to the one or more user selections;
- use at least one of the one or more user selections and the corresponding values, if any, to determine a second scenario;
- present the user with the second scenario;
- and
- permit the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the second scenario.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media with instructions executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- present a user with a plurality of assessments in a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- permit the user to respond to each of the plurality of assessments;
- identify a value corresponding to each user response to the plurality of assessments, if any;
- and
- determine, with an algorithm, a user competency level.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions for presenting a user with a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- instructions for permitting the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the first scenario;
- instructions for identifying a value, if any, corresponding to the one or more user selections;
- instructions for using at least one of the one or more user selections and the corresponding values, if any, to determine a second scenario;
- instructions for presenting the user with the second scenario;
- and
- instructions for permitting the user to make one or more selections in response to a plurality of assessments in the second scenario.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions for presenting a user with a plurality of assessments in a first scenario in a virtual learning environment;
- instructions for permitting the user to respond to each of the plurality of assessments;
- instructions for identifying a value corresponding to each user response to the plurality of assessments, if any;
- and
- instructions for determining, with an algorithm, a user competency level.
