  • Patent number: 11216785
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for implementing an electronic learning (eLearrning) system. In some implementations, an indication of a user selection by a first user of electronic learning content of an electronic learning (eLearning) system is processed, where the electronic learning content includes a learning module. Learning module is initiated or resumed. The progress of the first user in relation to completion of the learning module is tracked. An unanswered question that pertains to the learning module and that has been submitted by a second user is identified based, at least in part, on the progress of the first user in relation to the completion of the learning module. The unanswered question is then provided via a web page of the learning module for presentation via a client device of the first user.

In some implementations, an indication of a user selection by a first user of electronic learning content of an electronic learning (eLearning) system is processed, where the electronic learning content includes a learning module. Responsive to processing the indication of the user selection, the learning module is initiated or resumed by providing one or more of a plurality of content items of the learning module for presentation by the client device. The progress of the first user in relation to completion of the learning module is tracked. An unanswered question that pertains to the learning module and that has been submitted by a second user is identified based, at least in part, on the progress of the first user in relation to the completion of the learning module.

  • Publication number: 20210150483
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for generating custom courses for users. A goal of a user of a database system is ascertained and users of a database system that have reached the goal are identified. A list of content items including educational content is generated. The list can be generated using artificial intelligence or computer-generated models. In addition, dependency trees can be applied during the generation of a computer-generated list of content items. The content items can represent a variety of resources including educational learning modules or trails, as well as other actions that the user can take to reach their goal. The list can be provided via a web page for display by a client device, and the user can interact with the list. The user's achievements with respect to the list are tracked and a record of the user's achievements can be updated within the web page, as well as other web pages for access by other users.

  • Patent number: 10713604
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing a bi-directional notification framework within a content management system. A database system maintains a number of users within a content management system, with each of the users being associated with one or more organizations. The system sends a first notification message from an organization to a user associated with the organization. The first notification message is targeted to at least that user, and contains information about an assignment. The system then processes a user event indicating activity associated with the assignment, and in response to the user event, sends a second notification message from the client device to one or more entities within the content management system, including the organization. The second notification message is targeted to those entities, and contains information about the user activity associated with the assignment.
