  • Patent number: 11756445
    Abstract: A system and method is configured to determine an initial assessment score for an initial curriculum activity for a learner. A query identifying, within a data logic or at least one database record, a lower threshold value is executed. Responsive to determining that the initial assessment score is less than the lower threshold value, a query is executed identifying a remediation curriculum activity associated with the initial curriculum activity and a first graphical user interface is encoded including an identification of the learner and a first user interface element configured to cause the server hardware computing device to modify a lesson plan of the learner to include the remediation curriculum activity. The first graphical user interface is transmitted to a client hardware computing device for display.

  • Patent number: 11645944
    Abstract: A learning toy which enables learning of high-level programming in a stepwise manner. A movement path is constituted by a plurality of command panels in which command information which can be read with an optical reading module is recorded being arranged. A mobile robot sequentially reads command information included in the command panels through which the mobile robot passes while moving along the movement path and stores a plurality of pieces of command information in a command information memory. The mobile robot takes out a plurality of pieces of command information from arbitrary positions in the command information memory to execute operation. If a plurality of pieces of command information necessary for operation of the mobile robot are stored in the command information memory, a control unit of the mobile robot automatically extracts and takes out the command information and causes the mobile robot to operate.

  • Patent number: 11645939
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for teaching educational sketching includes receiving a user-generated image created in response to a learning assignment and comparing the user-generated image to a solution image to identify one or more errors in the user-generated image relative to the solution image, where the errors may include additional image elements and missing image elements. Comparing is performed by providing a solution region corresponding to an acceptable variation from the solution image and identifying one or more errors based on a presence or absence of at least a portion of a corresponding element of the user-generated image within the solution region. If errors are identified and a non-passing status is determined, a hint is displayed to the user. The hint may be the correct elements of the user-generated image, a portion of the solution image, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11636773
    Abstract: A system and process for dynamic security monitoring of test taking. The system combines historical information about the test taker or relevant conditions, and includes sensors which objectively monitor test taker's actions, inactions, and involuntary response to the test given before and during the test, and at a specific test location. The information collected from the sensors is compared to a plurality of predetermined individual risk factors, which indicate a possibility of test fraud by the individual test taker to create a test event risk profile. The individual risk profile is combined with non-individual specific risk factors to create a holistic test event security profile. Security resources are then dynamically assigned to or removed from the test event based on the unique test event security profile.
