Patent number: 11381486Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for electronically conditioning transmission of communications based on results of a connection assessment. An electronic file is executed at an electronic device, which causes a first query and a second query to be presented. A first query response and a second query response are identified. The first query response is stored in a locked configuration that inhibits the ability to modify the first query response to the first query. The second query response is stored but is not stored in the locked configuration. Query response data is generated that includes an identifier of the second query, an identifier of the second query response and an identifier of the electronic device. A connection variable is determined by assessing one or more network connections available to the electronic device. When a transmission condition is satisfied, the query response data is transmitted to another device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Brendan Kealey, Paul Arens, Adam Krapfl, Paul Grudnitski, Robbie Allen Nielsen, James Setaro, Jason Sobanski

Patent number: 10540601Abstract: Systems and methods for automated node status determination are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory. The memory can include a Q-matrix that can include data identifying a relationship between at least a portion of a standard and at least one item of an assessment. The system can include at least one server. The at least one server can provide a first interim assessment including a first plurality of items. Each of the items can correspond to a child evidence node in a Bayesian network. The at least one server can generate first evidence by evaluating responses received to the first plurality of items from the first interim assessment and can calculate a mastery probability according to the Bayesian network of at least one parent node in the Bayesian network based on the generated first evidence.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: PEARSON EDUCATION, INC.Inventors: Amy Reilly, Paul Grudnitski, Michael Young

Patent number: 6904263Abstract: A method and system for interactive case and video-based teacher training is provided. The invention includes a server portion 200 and a client portion 202. A media database 100, a video assignment or video assessment database 102, an administration database 104, and a user database 106 interact with a computer system 108 and with a lesson-builder program 114 and a lesson viewer program 116 in order to allow for the development of time-indexed video case-centric lessons and courses, which are stored in a lesson database 110. The computer system 108 communicates with a plurality of client computers 206 via a browser program 208, allowing teacher-users or general users to interact with the lesson-builder program 114 and the lesson viewer program 116 for the creation and use of lessons. The lessons generated and used in the present invention are video-centric, and the present invention provides for the use of time-coded or time-indexed references to relevant portions of the video.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2001Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Inventors: Paul Grudnitski, Gail Hood, Aisha Sims, Jim Stigler
