  • Patent number: 11816637
    Abstract: Employers or recruiters populate an online database with job postings. The concepts that job applicants need to have learned to be successful applicants for a job are stated or inferred from the job posting and optionally resumes of others who have held that job. A student's own learning activities are logged by an online education platform. From a comparison between the student's completed learning units and a job posting's required learning units, a personalized learning unit gap can be identified for a student. The online education platform can then recommend how the student can fill the gap by undertaking the study of learning units on the education platform.

  • Patent number: 11790467
    Abstract: An online education platform manages and integrates a number of education services for users of the platform, including job recall services. These job recall services include management and distribution of j ob recall materials that test whether job applicants have acquired desired knowledge or skills for a particular job opening or class of jobs. The job recall materials are uploaded to the education platform and mapped to one or more learning units. Each learning unit is associated with an educational course and includes a distinct concept in the associated course. Responsive to a user of the education platform completing the learning unit to which a job recall material is mapped, the job recall material is recommended to the user.

  • Patent number: 9679492
    Abstract: An online educational publishing platform generates an effective grade point average for respective users of the platform by aggregating data describing educational activities of the users. The educational activity data includes users' interactions with pages of content distributed by the online educational platform, as well as data retrieved from user profiles of the users and external databases. The educational activity data is filtered into a plurality of categories and scored based on scoring metrics associated with the categories. Using the scored user activity data, the publishing platform generates the effective grade point averages. Each user may have multiple eGPAs whose value depends on how the eGPA was generated. Accordingly, an eGPA provides a quantitative representation of a student's academic engagement, achievements, and experiences.

  • Patent number: 9378647
    Abstract: An educational course is automatically deconstructed into discrete learning units. Content related to the course that has been stored by an integrated education platform is analyzed, and distinct concepts are extracted from the content. In addition, the learning activities in which users engage while accessing integrated learning services from the platform are recorded. These activities can generally be divided into passive, active, and recall activities. By deconstructing educational courses into individual concepts, a general model of learning is then applied that connects concepts to the activities undertaken by students to learn those concepts. As a result, a model of learning is developed where courses are atomized into individual learning units, each of which comprises a concept and at least one learning activity. The learning units then can be delivered independently or aggregated as desired.

  • Publication number: 20150324459
    Abstract: A content classification system classifies documents of a plurality of content entities into a hierarchical discipline structure. The content classification system receives a set of taxonomic labels collectively defining a hierarchical taxonomy and a plurality of documents. Each document is associated with one of the content entities. The content classification system extracts features from the received documents. A learned model is generated for assigning taxonomic labels to documents associated with a representative content entity using the features extracted from documents associated with the representative content entity. The content classification system assigns one or more taxonomic labels to each document of the other content entities using the learned model applied to the features extracted from the respective document. The documents of the plurality of content entities are classified based on the assigned taxonomic labels.
