Abstract: A learner engagement engine provides a unique way to track and measure a learner's engagement across a plurality of different learning resources. In preferred embodiments, the learning engagement engine measures learner's engagement activities at the most detailed level (such as at a paragraph level, instead of a chapter or book level). This allows the learner engagement engine to easily aggregate learner activities, even when a course structure or context are changed during the course.

Abstract: A system including a computer server implementing a learning resource configured to monitor a user interaction with the learning resource, and encode, based on the user interactions, a user event. The system includes a computer server implementing an event processor. The event processor is configured to receive, from the computer server, the user event, parse the user event to determine the identifications of the user generating the user event, the assessment item, and the learning resource, and the indication of whether the user event is associated with a correct answer or an incorrect answer, and store, in an analytics storage database, a data record including the identification of the user generating the user event, the assessment item, the learning resource, and the indication of whether the user event is associated with a correct answer or an incorrect answer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system (90) is provided that supports a high degree of separation between processing elements. The computer-implemented system (90) comprises a plurality of cells (92) residing on the computer-implemented system, where each cell (92) includes a domain of execution (94) and at least one processing element (96); a separation specification (99) that governs communication between the processing elements (96); and a kernel (98) of an operating system that facilitates execution of the processing elements (96) and administers the communication between the processing elements (96) in accordance with the separation specification (99), such that one processing element (96) can influence the operation of another processing element (96) only as set forth by the separation specification (99). In particular, the separation specification provides memory allocation, remote procedure calls and exception handling mechanisms.
