  • Learning assessment and programmatic remediation
    Patent number: 8639177
    Abstract: Learning content may be provided to a user where the learning content may contain learning objectives. A response to the learning content may be received. The response may be analyzed by determining whether the response was the proper response to the learning objectives. If the response was a proper response, less questions on the learning objective may be presented in the future and the if response was an improper response, additional questions on the learning objective may be presented in the future.

  • Inputting data on a portable computing device
    Patent number: 8095874
    Abstract: A method for displaying input from a portable computing device on a second computing device is described. Later inputs on the portable computing device are displayed in a scrolling fashion on the second computing device with later input being displayed below previous input without regard to the location of the input on the portable computing device.

  • Method of displaying input from a portable computing device
    Patent number: 8085281
    Abstract: A method and system is described for displaying input from a portable computing device to a second computing device. On the second computing device, a display region is created. The region may be a stand alone application or a region inside an application. The second computing device then receives a communication that represents the portable input on the portable computing device. The portable input is then scaled to fit the display region and the portable input is displayed on the second computing device.

  • Associating input with computer based content
    Patent number: 8074173
    Abstract: Notes and other input may be entered directly onto computer based content. The notes may be taken on a portable computing device that contains metadata from the computer based content. The metadata and input are stored and once the portable computing device is in communication with the second computing device displaying the computer based content, the input is displayed near the computer based content that was displayed at the time the input was created.
