  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN IN ELECTRONIC LEARNING SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20230267848
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system for providing guided instructional design. The system includes at least one processing device and at least one data storage device in communication with the at least one processing device. The at least one data storage device is configured to store information about at least one course. For each course, the at least one processing device is configured to present at least one predetermined course component to a first user, and for the at least one course component: present at least one course parameter, receive at least one first input from the first user in relation to the at least one course parameter, based on the at least one first input and at least one educational design element, present at least one modified course parameter to the first user; and receive at least one second input from the first user in relation to the at least one modified course parameter.

  • SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING CLIENT-SIDE DIGITAL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE
    Publication number: 20160253483
    Abstract: According to one aspect there is provided a method and an apparatus for facilitating intellectual property rights compliance that is compliant with a same-origin security policy that prohibits the application from executing application-specific instructions from the first domain that access application-specific instructions from the second domain. The method includes receiving a structured document from a first domain, the structured document having at least one content object, a reference to at least one digital rights compliance (DRC) object located on a second domain and associated with the at least one content object, and application-specific instructions being executable by the application. The at least one DRC object is defined in a non-executable format and contains information indicative of rights associated with the at least one content.
