Publication number: 20230215289Abstract: Identifying material with which students are struggling can guide educators’ decisions on which modifications to the instructional experience will be most impactful to the learning experience. Educators make a finite selection of the nearly infinite number of possible combinations of instructional content, delivery approaches, instructional order, test questions, approaches for accountability, rubrics, and the like. Educators and administrators with thousands of students are incapable of processing the quantities of available data unaided. In some embodiments, a system enables users to view quantized metric data from a population of, for example, students. In some embodiments, the system displays a category-filtered presentation table of a single metric data source.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventor: Dan Reed Olsen, JR.

Publication number: 20220405459Abstract: An assessment system may present one or more string interaction problems to each of a plurality of students. Students may provide answers to string interaction problems in the form of string edits that, for example, identify deletions, additions, or revisions to a text string of each respective string interaction problem. The assessment system may normalize each string edit by converting each string edit into a student range edit. Each student range edit defines a replacement text string (which could be an empty text string) to be inserted within a range of reference locations relative to an original text string of the string interaction problem (which likewise could be an empty text string). An assessor may associate feedback objects with student range edits that match or, in some embodiments, are within a predetermined distance of an assessor-defined range edit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventor: Dan Reed Olsen, JR.

Patent number: 11003147Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can automatically generate a service group. For example, accessories can be automatically grouped together based on various criteria (such as historical usage patterns). The accessories in the service group can be managed and/or controlled as if the accessories were a single accessory or entity. In some implementations, a computing device can intelligently select service group controls for presentation to the user so that the user can control the service group. For example, the computing device can select which service group controls to present and the order in which to present the controls based on features that are common among different accessories in the service group.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A.

Publication number: 20200372481Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to display and manage royalty distributions for electronic book (eBooks) assembled from multiple instructional units owned by a plurality of owners. In various embodiments, a curation fraction value (CFV) subsystem may calculate a CFV for an assembly owner of the assembled eBook. An owner value profile (OVP) subsystem may generate an OVP data object for the assembled eBook that associates each identified unit owner with a value sum, based on computed value units of the instructional units owned by each respective unit owner. A royalty distribution subsystem may compute a distribution of royalties to the assembly owner and the various unit owners. A share of the royalty for a unit owner may be recursively sub-divided for distribution to nested assembly owners and nested unit owners when one of the instructional units is itself an eBook formed from multiple nested instructional units.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventor: Dan Reed Olsen, JR.

Publication number: 20190027054Abstract: Various systems and methods are described for the selective visual display of geometric shapes based on a rule-based geometric selection inputs. For example, an image may be displayed with multiple overlaid geometric shapes provided by various prior users of system. An operator may create successive geometric shapes that intersect or otherwise provide successive selection bases for selecting successive subsets of the overlaid geometric shapes. Data objects can be successively provided to successive selection of the overlaid geometric shapes. In one specific application of the systems and methods for selective visual display, a system allows for the creation, administration, and evaluation of assessments, such as quizzes and tests. According to various embodiments, assessors create challenge problems that can be answered by assessees forming geometric shapes. Assessors can evaluate and assign feedback objects to multiple overlaid geometric shape answers at once with selective visualization feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventor: Dan Reed Olsen
