Assessing a level of comprehension of a virtual lecture

A computing device of a computing system, the computing device comprises:

• an interface;
• a local memory;
• and
• a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the local memory, wherein the processing module functions to:
• generate a virtual lecture environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with object relationships between at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein at least some of the object representations are associated with corresponding three dimensional (3-D) physical objects, and wherein the object relationships includes one or more of 3-D spatial relationships and rules of interaction between at least some of object representations of the group of object representations;
• receive, via the interface, educator lecture inputs during a lecture recording timeframe, wherein the educator lecture inputs correspond to the virtual lecture environment;
• generate a learner assessment plan for assessing comprehension of a virtual lecture based on the educator lecture inputs applied to the virtual lecture environment;
• link the educator lecture inputs of the lecture recording timeframe with the virtual lecture environment to produce the virtual lecture, wherein the virtual lecture is associated with a lecture playing timeframe based on the lecture recording timeframe;
• receive, via the interface, learner interaction information during a lecture playing timeframe, wherein the learner interaction information corresponds to the virtual lecture;
• and
• evaluate learner assessment inputs in accordance with the learner assessment plan to determine a level of comprehension of the virtual lecture.

A computer readable memory comprises:

• a first memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing module, causes the processing module to:
• generate a virtual lecture environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with object relationships between at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations, wherein at least some of the object representations are associated with corresponding three dimensional (3-D) physical objects, and wherein the object relationships includes one or more of 3-D spatial relationships and rules of interaction between at least some of object representations of the group of object representations;
• a second memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• receive educator lecture inputs during a lecture recording timeframe, wherein the educator lecture inputs correspond to the virtual lecture environment;
• a third memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• generate a learner assessment plan for assessing comprehension of a virtual lecture based on the educator lecture inputs applied to the virtual lecture environment;
• a fourth memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• link the educator lecture inputs of the lecture recording timeframe with the virtual lecture environment to produce the virtual lecture, wherein the virtual lecture is associated with a lecture playing timeframe based on the lecture recording timeframe;
• a fifth memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• receive learner interaction information during a lecture playing timeframe, wherein the learner interaction information corresponds to the virtual lecture;
• and
• a sixth memory element that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• evaluate learner assessment inputs in accordance with the learner assessment plan to determine a level of comprehension of the virtual lecture.
