  • Computer systems and computer-implemented methods for providing training content to a user
    Patent number: 9798814
    Abstract: Computer systems and computer-implemented methods for providing training content to a user through processing information from a user to select an estimate of most-useful course modules from a plurality of possible course modules, based on a received user input such as a users answers to a plurality of filtering questions. When a user provides feedback on the usefulness of the selected course modules, the computer system is updated to select more useful content for future users.
