  • Publication number: 20170371458
    Abstract: Various implementations for managing, monitoring, and promoting user development and effectiveness are described. In one example implementation, a system includes a management module, an assessment module, a content module, and a reporting module. The management module determines a goal for a plurality of users of an organization to meet and a workflow for achieving the goal. The assessment module determines an assessment of a first performance of the first user based on the workflow and personalizes an electronic resource to a need of the first user based on the assessment of the performance. The content module provides the first electronic resource to the first user for interaction and the reporting module generates a report describing the electronic resource and the assessment of the first performance.

  • Publication number: 20160210875
    Abstract: Various embodiments for prescribing electronic resources based on observational assessments are described. One example system includes a communication unit for sending and receiving data, a recommendation engine, and an assignment engine. The recommendation engine receives observation data related to a target subject, identifies one or more electronic resources that correspond to the observation data, and provides data describing the one or more electronic resources for display to an observer. The recommendation engine is coupled to the communication unit to provide the data representing the one or more electronic resources. The assignment engine receives an assignment request requesting an assignment of at least one electronic resource from the one or more electronic resources to the target subject for completion. The assignment engine also assigns the at least one electronic resource to the target subject. The assignment engine is coupled to the communication unit to receive the assignment request.

  • Publication number: 20140236855
    Abstract: An example system for managing professional development plans may include a plan management module for receiving data representing a development plan for one or more users and an achievement module. The achievement module may determine one or more achievements associated with the development plan and may provide the one or more achievements to a user device of a first user. The achievement module may receive an association of an achievement selected from the one or more achievements with the goal-related aspect of the development plan and associate the achievement with the goal-related aspect of the development plan. The system may further include a reporting module for generating, based on associating the achievement with the goal-related aspect, a report describing the progress of the first user on the development plan.
