Abstract

A computer system for delivering an educational material includes a delivery engine, a feedback engine and a notification engine. The delivery engine is configured to deliver to a student a portion of the educational material, including the content arranged to define a set of learning paths associated with a learning objective. The portion of the educational material includes a subset of the content associated with a subset of the set of learning paths. The feedback engine is configured to receive a datum associated with a number learning paths within the subset of the set of learning paths. Said another way, the datum represents the number of learning paths received by a student. The notification engine is configured to produce a notification in response to the datum.

delivering to the student a second portion of the educational material in response to the first datum and the second datum.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the educational material is a first portion, the datum is a first datum, the method further comprising:

receiving a second datum associated with a profile of the student including any one of a demographic characteristic of the student, an indicator of the student's past educational performance, a status of the student's family or a status of the student's health; and

delivering to the student a second portion of the educational material in response to the first datum and the second datum.

9 . A computer system for delivering an educational material, the computer system comprising:

a memory; and

a plurality of modules configured to deliver the educational material to a student, the educational material associated with a plurality of learning objectives, at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of modules being stored in at least a portion of the memory, the plurality of modules including:

a delivery engine configured to deliver to a student a portion of the educational material, the educational material including a plurality of content arranged to define a plurality of learning paths associated with a learning objective from the plurality of learning objectives, the portion of the educational material including a subset of the plurality of content associated with a subset of the plurality of learning paths;

a feedback engine configured to receive a datum associated with a number learning paths within the subset of the plurality of learning paths; and

a notification engine configured to produce a notification in response to the datum.

10 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the datum is a first datum;

the feedback engine is configured to receive a second datum associated with at least one of a length of time taken by the student to complete a content from the subset of the plurality of content, a length of time spent by the student within a learning path from the subset of the plurality of learning paths or a length of time spent by the student within each learning path from the subset of the plurality of learning paths; and

the notification engine is configured to produce a notification in response to the second datum.

11 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the datum is a first datum;

the feedback engine is configured to receive a second datum associated with a score of an assessment associated with the learning objective from the plurality of learning objectives; and

the notification engine is configured to produce a notification in response to the second datum.

12 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the datum is a first datum;

the feedback engine is configured to receive a second datum associated with a profile of the student including any one of a demographic characteristic of the student, an indicator of the student's past educational performance, a status of the student's family or a status of the student's health; and

the notification engine is configured to produce a notification in response to the second datum.

13 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the notification engine is configured to receive a raw notification file, transform a data within the raw notification file into the notification having a predetermined format and post the notification to a location for receipt by a user.

14 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:
