Patent number: 11847404Abstract: A service control system controls access to secured online testing services, such as accredited or standardized tests, examinations in educational courses, tutoring services, and continuing professional development courses or seminars. The secured services may be published by an educational publishing platform and made available to users through online configured browser applications executing on the users' devices. Based on access conditions associated with a secured testing service and the capturing and processing of one or more images, the service control system determines how users are authorized to access the services. When users have been authorized to access a service or a subset of the service, the service may be distributed through the browser applications executing on the users' devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Chegg, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Le Chevalier, Charles F.

Patent number: 11816637Abstract: Employers or recruiters populate an online database with job postings. The concepts that job applicants need to have learned to be successful applicants for a job are stated or inferred from the job posting and optionally resumes of others who have held that job. A student's own learning activities are logged by an online education platform. From a comparison between the student's completed learning units and a job posting's required learning units, a personalized learning unit gap can be identified for a student. The online education platform can then recommend how the student can fill the gap by undertaking the study of learning units on the education platform.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Chegg, Inc.Inventors: Anand Madhavan, Paul Chris Sri, Benjamin James Bercovitz, Vincent Le Chevalier, Charles F.

Publication number: 20230351092Abstract: A testing materials production system generates a testing document associated with an electronic foundation document. The testing materials production system automatically generates the testing document by populating regions of a template with testing elements extracted from the electronic document. User customizations of the testing document are received, and the testing document is published to an extended catalog database associated with the electronic document. Regions of the testing document may be delivered in association with the electronic document to designated recipients via browser applications executing on computing devices of the recipients.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Vincent Le Chevalier, Charles F.
