Abstract: Systems and methods involve an intelligent application mapping function of a central platform that maps a direct interactive electronic communication channel between an issuer terminal and an investor terminal based at least partly on investor positions in the issuer held by respective custodial intermediaries in a chain of custodial intermediaries for the investor. Thereafter, an intelligent application notification function of the platform transmits, via the direct interactive electronic communication channel to the investor terminal, data representing a notification regarding a meeting for the issuer, and an intelligent application voting function of the platform returns, from the investor terminal via the direct interactive electronic communication channel to the processor of the issuer terminal, data representing an exercise of investor voting rights associated with the investor positions for the investor.

Abstract: A method provides a computer-implemented environment for improved educator effectiveness. The method includes a server serving, receiving, and storing web pages over a wide area network connected to client computers of administrators or teachers of a school, so the administrators or teachers can create, use or view processes and observation workflows to conduct performance reviews of teachers in the school.

Abstract: A computer-implemented, portable environment for in-class educator observation allows an observer to easily capture and date-stamp the observer's in-class observations of educator performance, and then to easily align such observations to template standards of an observation template, all in a way that allows the observer to focus on capturing details about the educator performance rather than on the data-gathering process.
