| 20080254430 | Parent guide to learning progress for use in a computerized learning environment - A computerized learning method is provided. The method may include receiving learning data for a user from each of a plurality of learning application programs, at a learning service program, storing the learning data in a profile of the user, in non-volatile memory accessible to the learning service program, and displaying a parent graphical user interface configured to include a parent view of learning data associated with the profile. An assessed user learning level and other learning data for a skill from the profile of the user may be displayed on the parent graphical user interface. Recommendations and statistical comparisons of the user with other users may also be displayed on the parent graphical user interface. In this manner, a parent may efficiently monitor a student user's learning activity. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080254431 | Learner profile for learning application programs - A computerized learning system and method is provided. According to the method, user performance data for a unique user may be received from learning application programs executed on a user client device. The received user performance data may be used to determine an assessed user learning level for the user. The assessed user learning level may be stored in a learner profile for the user and may be sent to a learning application program upon request. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080254432 | Evaluating learning progress and making recommendations in a computerized learning environment - A computerized learning method is provided. The method may include receiving performance data for a user from at least one of a plurality of learning application programs, at a learning service program. The method may also include updating a learning level of the user based on the performance data from at least one of the plurality of learning applications, and determining a recommendation for the user based on the updated learning level. The recommendation may be displayed on a graphical user interface of the learning service program. The determination of the recommendation may be based on a measured change in a learning level for a group of users with at least one profile element similar to the user. In this manner, effective recommendations for the user may be made. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080261191 | Scaffolding support for learning application programs in a computerized learning environment - A computerized learning system is provided. The computerized learning system may include a learning application program executable on a computing device. The learning application program may have a user interface configured to present a challenge to a user and receive a user response to the challenge. The user interface may feature a support system configured to present support to aid the user in responding to the challenge. To adjust the support provided to the skill level of the user, a scaffolding engine may be provided to determine a scaffolding level of the user for a skill, and the support system may be configured to adjust the support in response to the scaffolding level. In this manner, support for the user may be more appropriately tailored to the user's ability and change dynamically in accordance with the user's progress. | 10-23-2008 |
