  • Patent number: 12300121
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for hybrid on-demand and live learning systems. A method can include establishing a class session with remote participants; sending class content to a device of a participant; classifying a session of the participant as an on-demand or live session based on an availability of an instructor to communicate with the participant during the session; tracking, based on messages between the device and an online system, time spent by the device in the live session and/or time spent in the on-demand session; based on a result of classifying the session as the on-demand or live session, adding the time spent in the session to a live time counter or an on-demand time counter for the participant; and determining a time spent value based on the live time counter and the on-demand time counter.

  • Patent number: 11410567
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for online learning compliance systems. An example method can include receiving a request including a user identifier (UUID) and associated with a live or on-demand class; based on the request, retrieving course content including streamed content when the request is for the live class and a data object associated with a course, chapter, and/or lesson when the request is for the on-demand class; tracking, based on electronic messages sent to a user terminal, time spent by a user accessing the course content; based on the tracked time, updating a time spent counter in a user record associated with the UUID; and reconciling tracked live time and tracked on-demand time from the time spent counter into a progress value associated with the UUID.
