Abstract

A method is disclosed including receiving, by a user interface, an activation of at least one activatable element indicating a selected concept, and in response to receiving the activation indicating the selected concept, identifying at least one prerequisite concept to the selected concept, determining a readiness score of a group of students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept, determining a readiness score of the group of students for learning the selected concept based at least in part on the determined readiness score for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept, determining a total teaching cost for teaching the group of students the selected concept, generating a learning system for teaching the selected concept based at least in part on the determined total teaching cost, and presenting the recommended learning system to the user via the user interface.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method performed by at least one hardware processor, comprising:

presenting a user interface on a display of a computing device, the user interface configured to present learning systems to a user, the user interface including at least one element that is activatable by a user to select a concept to be used in generating a learning system for teaching the concept to one or more students;
receiving from the user via the user interface an activation of the at least one element, the activation indicating a selected concept;
in response to receiving the activation indicating the selected concept:
identifying at least one prerequisite concept to the selected concept;
determining a readiness score of a group of students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept, the readiness score based at least on a proficiency of the group of students in the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determining a readiness score of the group of students for learning the selected concept based at least in part on the determined readiness score of the group of the students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determining a total teaching cost for teaching the group of students the selected concept, the total teaching cost based at least in part on:
a teaching cost associated with teaching the selected concept to the group of students;
a teaching cost associated with teaching the at least one prerequisite concept to the group of students;
and
the determined readiness scores of the group of students for learning the selected concept and the at least one prerequisite concept;
generating a learning system for teaching the selected concept based at least in part on the determined total teaching cost;
and
presenting the learning system to the user via the user interface.

A system comprising:

at least one processor comprising hardware, the at least one processor configured to:
present a user interface on a display of a computing device, the user interface configured to present learning systems to a user, the user interface including at least one element that is activatable by a user to select a concept to be used in generating a learning system for teaching the concept to one or more students;
receive from the user via the user interface an activation of the at least one element, the activation indicating a selected concept;
in response to receiving the activation indicating the selected concept:
identify at least one prerequisite concept to the selected concept;
determine a readiness score of a group of students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept, the readiness score based at least on a proficiency of the group of students in the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determine a readiness score of the group of students for learning the selected concept based at least in part on the determined readiness score of the group of the students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determine a total teaching cost for teaching the group of students the selected concept, the total teaching cost based at least in part on:
a teaching cost associated with teaching the selected concept to the group of students;
a teaching cost associated with teaching the at least one prerequisite concept to the group of students;
and
the determined readiness scores of the group of students for learning the selected concept and the at least one prerequisite concept;
generate a learning system for teaching the selected concept based at least in part on the determined total teaching cost;
and
present the learning system to the user via the user interface.

12 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:

present a user interface on a display of a computing device, the user interface configured to present learning systems to a user, the user interface including at least one element that is activatable by a user to select a concept to be used in generating a learning system for teaching the concept to one or more students;
receive from the user via the user interface an activation of the at least one element, the activation indicating a selected concept;
in response to receiving activation indicating the selected concept:
identify at least one prerequisite concept to the selected concept;
determine a readiness score of a group of students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept, the readiness score based at least on a proficiency of the group of students in the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determine a readiness score of the group of students for learning the selected concept based at least in part on the determined readiness score of the group of the students for learning the at least one identified prerequisite concept;
determine a total teaching cost for teaching the group of students the selected concept, the total teaching cost based at least in part on:
a teaching cost associated with teaching the selected concept to the group of students;
a teaching cost associated with teaching the at least one prerequisite concept to the group of students;
and
the determined readiness scores of the group of students for learning the selected concept and the at least one prerequisite concept;
generate a learning system for teaching the selected concept based at least in part on the determined total teaching cost;
and
present the learning system to the user via the user interface.
