20120240061 | Methods and systems for sharing content items relating to multimedia captured and/or direct observations of persons performing a task for evaluation - In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for use in evaluating performance of one or more observed persons, the method comprises: providing a comment field on a display device for a first user to enter free-form comments related to an observation of one or more observed persons performing a task to be evaluated; receiving a free-form comment entered by the first user in the comment field and relating to the observation; storing the free-form comment entered by the first user on a computer readable medium accessible by multiple users; providing a share field to the user for the user to set a sharing setting; and determining whether to display the free-form comment to a second user when the second user accesses stored data relating to the observation based on the sharing setting. | 09-20-2012 |
20120208168 | Methods and systems relating to coding and/or scoring of observations of and content observed persons performing a task to be evaluated - In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for use in evaluating performance of a task by one or more observed persons comprises: outputting for display through a user interface a plurality of rubric nodes to the first user for selection, each node corresponds to a desired characteristic for the performance of the task; receiving a selected rubric node from the first user; outputting for display on the display device, a plurality of scores for the selected rubric nodes to the first user for selection, each of the scores corresponds to a level at which the task performed satisfies the desired characteristics; receiving, through the input device, a score selected for the selected rubric node from the user, the score is selected based on an observation of the performance of the task; and providing a professional development resource suggestion related to the performance of the task based at least on the score. | 08-16-2012 |
20120208167 | Methods and systems for management of evaluation metrics and evaluation of persons performing a task based on multimedia captured and/or direct observations - In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for customizing a performance evaluation rubric for evaluating performance of one or more observed persons performing a task comprises: providing a user interface for display on a computer device allowing entry of a custom performance rubric; receiving and storing first level identifiers belonging to a first hierarchical level of a custom performance rubric; receiving and storing lower level identifiers of lower hierarchical levels of the custom performance rubric, each lower level identifier associated with at least one of the first level identifiers or another lower level identifier; receiving a comment related to the observation of the performance of the task; outputting the first level identifiers for display; receiving a selected first level identifier and outputting a subset of the lower level identifiers; corresponding the comment to a selected lower level identifier; and assigning the selected lower level identifier to the comment. | 08-16-2012 |
20120206566 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RELATING TO THE CAPTURE OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT OF OBSERVED PERSONS PERFORMING A TASK FOR EVALUATION - A computer implemented method for recording of audio for use in remotely evaluating performance of a task by of one or more observed persons, the method comprises: receiving a first audio input from a first microphone recording observed persons performing the task; receiving a second audio input from a second microphone recording persons reacting to the performance; outputting for display a first sound meter corresponding to the volume of the first audio input; outputting for display a second sound meter corresponding to the volume of the second audio input; providing a first volume control and a second volume control, wherein a first volume of the first audio input and a second volume of the second audio input are amplified volumes, wherein, the first and second sound meters each comprises an indicator for suggesting a volume range suitable for recording the observed persons and the persons reacting to the performance. | 08-16-2012 |
