  • Patent number: 9633570
    Abstract: Systems and methods for teaching in a virtual learning environment. In one example method comprises displaying a problem on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing system, receiving a user input of one or more potential solutions to the problem, animating, via the GUI, one or more graphical representations of the one or more potential solutions, receiving a user input selecting a first one of the one or more potential solutions, and displaying, on the GUI, an animation that illustrates a workability or accuracy of the one or more potential solutions.

  • Patent number: 7653931
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for systems that generate random strings of objects corresponding to elements of a login code. The disclosure also provides for methods for training individuals in remembering the elements of the login code. Those login code elements, in certain embodiments, are taught to its user by way of a puzzle or game-like environment. That game-like environment, in one embodiment, does not require the use of language-based instructions, which make learning the elements of the login code simple and easy for a wide range and variety of persons. In addition, the login code elements are taught to its user, in certain embodiments, by way of a multi-staged training process, wherein each stage includes a plurality of training sessions. Those training sessions may use a process of spatial and visual recognition. That process may help assist a login code user to remember the elements of the code even if the login code is only periodically used.
