  • Patent number: 11868374
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for: generating a GUI comprising survey questions associated with degree factors and associated rating GUI components indicating application of the factor to a user; receiving the factor rating for each survey question; identifying a high factor rating exceeding a threshold; selecting a degree identifier sharing a common high factor rating between the first response and a response stored in the database; generating a candidate degree list including the degree identifier; generating a second GUI including the candidate degree list; and transmitting the second GUI to a client device.

  • Publication number: 20190259290
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for providing a first data packet to a user device; receiving collected strain information from the user device, wherein the collected strain information is collected by an input/output subsystem of the user device; receiving response data from the user device; generating a strain value characterizing a strain of the first user in responding to the first data packet, wherein the strain value is based on the collected strain information and the response data; generating a value indicative of an evaluation of the received response data; selecting, from the content library database, a next content item for provisioning to the user device based on the strain value and the value indicative of the evaluation of the received response data; and transmitting a second data packet corresponding to the selected next content item to the user device.

  • Publication number: 20180277010
    Abstract: Systems and methods can track, at a group level, times for responding to educational questions. A set of users is identified as users enrolled in an academic course. A set of responses is accessed (e.g., after being received). Each response in the set of responses is one submitted via an electronic user device associated with a user in the set of users and is one submitted in response to one or more educational questions. For each response in the set of responses, an accuracy of the response is identified and a response time for the response is identified. The response time is indicative of a time between presentation of the one or more questions and submission the response. The identified response times for at least two responses in the set of responses are aggregated. A representation of the aggregation is caused to be presented.

  • Patent number: 10019910
    Abstract: Systems and methods can dynamically set user-specific schedules for prompting users to access educational content objects. An educational performance metric is identified for a user. A learning schedule is accessed that includes an identification of a plurality of learning episodes. Each of the plurality of learning episodes is associated with a time-related variable indicative of when the learning episode is to occur and a substance-related variable indicative of a learning substance for the learning episode. The learning schedule is adjusted based on the identified educational performance metric and associated with the user. A presentation time is identified based on a time-related variable in the learning schedule. An electronic content object associated with the presentation time is identified based on a substance-related variable the learning schedule. A notification with an offer to access the identified electronic content object is presented at the presentation time via a device of the user.
