Abstract: Digital learning or tutoring systems as described herein embed, by a trained machine learning knowledge tracing engine, an array for learner interactions X into a static representation ej corresponding to a prior learner interaction xj and determine a contextualized interaction representation hj based on this. Digital tutoring systems described herein calculate, by a masked attention layer of the trained machine learning knowledge tracing engine, an attention weight Aij based on a time gap between two learner interactions with the system, and can calculate a contextualized interaction representation hj, wherein the contextualized interaction representation hj is proportional to the attention weight Aij. The systems can provide for display at the GUI a second question item based on the contextualized interaction representation hj, the second question item corresponding to a recommended learner recommendation.

Abstract: A computer device comprising a user interface and a processor. A first tier of a whole rewardable object is rendered, each tier of the rewardable object comprising a set of visual objects, each visual object representing a respective game level having an associated game objective. Each visual object is associated with an object status selected from a completed status and a playable status. A completed status is assigned to the visual object when either the user has attained the associated game objective of the game level, or an indication has been received that the associated game objective of the game level has been attained at a remote user device. When all visual objects of the first tier have been assigned a completion status, it is determined that at least one virtual object of the whole rewardable object is not associated with a completed status and a second tier is rendered.
