Abstract: A set of electronic slide decks is searched using a target slide of a first electronic slide deck, each of the electronic slide decks containing a sequence of slides to be presented individually. A computer system receives from a user input individually selecting the target slide as a search input from the slides of the first electronic slide deck, compares the target slide with the slides of each electronic slide deck in the set to determine whether any of those slides matches the target slide, so as to determine, for each of the set of electronic slide decks, whether that electronic slide deck contains at least one slide that matches the target slide; and displays a set of search results in response to the user input, wherein each of the search results represents one of the electronic slide decks determined to contain at least one matching slide.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to computer-implemented management of first and second electronic documents, each of containing a sequence of content components. A user interface displays a first sequence of display elements to represent the first electronic document, and a second sequence of display elements to represent the second electronic document. Each of the display elements in each of the displayed sequences represents an individual content component or group of content components of the electronic document represented by that sequence. The first and second sequences are displayed alongside each other, with their respective display elements in an initial alignment, to allow a side-by-side comparison of the electronic documents. The user can automatically realign the sequences to a selected content component.

Abstract: This disclose relates to computer-implemented management of an electronic slide deck, the electronic slide deck containing a set of slides to be presented individually. The computer system processes the slides of the electronic slide deck to autonomously group the slides into a plurality of groups, the autonomous grouping being performed by identifying the slides in each of the groups as having related content, generates in association with the electronic slide deck, grouping data in electronic storage accessible to the computer system, the grouping data denoting the identified groups of slides, and controls a user interface based on the stored grouping data to convey, to a user, information relating to at least one of the identified groups of slides.

Abstract: Some implementations may include a computing device to generate a presentation and enable rehearsing delivery of the presentation. The presentation may include multiple slides, with each slide having one or more visual elements, such as text or graphics. One or more notes sections may be created. Each of the one or notes sections may correspond to a visual element of the one or more visual elements. Time targets associated with each of the one or more visual elements may be received. During rehearsal, visual elements may be highlighted based on the time targets and/or a position of the visual elements on a slide may be identified based on the time targets.

Abstract: A user interface may present multiple presentation slides for user selection. Each slide may include one or more shapes, and a shape thread may be associated with each shape on the slide. For a selected slide, the user interface may present one or more shape threads associated with the selected slide. Each shape displayed on the selected slide may be associated with a particular shape thread, and a user may independently adjust one or more slide transition attributes of a shape via the associated shape thread.

Abstract: A two-model personalized language learning system and method that facilitates the learning of a new language (or a language not native to the learner) in a customizable way that is deeply personalized to the learner. Embodiments of the system and method define a learner model including personalized information about the learner and define a language model that describes language information specific to the language. A combination of the learner model and the language model are used to help the learner learn the language. Specifically, the learner and language models are used to create content for flashcards that are displayed to the learner. Responses from the learner are used to update both the learner and language models. Embodiments of the system and method also allow the learner to play skill-based games that teach and reinforce a particular language skill that the learner desires to master.

Abstract: An adaptively-spaced repetition learning system and method facilitate the learning of material over time through the presentation of the material at ever-increasing intervals. Embodiments of the system and method present a stimulus-response pair to a student to obtain a binary response that is either correct or incorrect. The token is next presented to the student based on the student's response. If the response is correct, then the token is presented to the student based on the initial repetition interval without modification. If the response is incorrect, then the learnedness value is reset and the progression through the repetition intervals is restarted. In some embodiments, the initial repetition intervals are dynamically adjusted based on the student's response to obtain revised repetition intervals. This is achieved by manipulating the exponent of the mathematical term representing the curve of the repetition intervals.
