Abstract

Methods and systems of dynamic comment are provided. A comment library stores comment entries and provides a basis for determining comment selections dynamically. Metadata associated with the comment entries may also be stored in the comment library. A set of comment selections may be determined based on the context in which a user is commenting on the digital content and the user's input. A comment library may be searched for matching instances of the user's input to determine the set of comment selections.

Claims (30)

1. A computer-implemented method of commenting digital content dynamically, comprising:

receiving a request to create a comment to a digital content from a user, the request comprising a comment entry entered by the user via a graphical interface of a learning system;

determining a context related to the digital content by collecting context information comprising a course, a section, an assignment, an instructor, or a student;

determining a subset of comments by searching a comment library based on the comment entry and the context;

determining a set of comment selections by applying a searching filter to the determined subset of comments, the set of comment selections comprising individual comment selections;

presenting the set of comment selections to the user within the graphical interface of the learning system; and

replacing the user comment entry with a user input corresponding to a comment selection within the set of comment selections presented to the user;

providing and adjusting the set of comment searching filters based on the context, wherein the step of searching the library comprises searching the comment library according to the set of comment searching filters; and

monitoring the comment entry entered by the user;

wherein the digital content is a document received from a second user.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the comment entry in a second comment library.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing metadata associated with the comment entry.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining the set of comment selections comprises searching a keyword or a full text match corresponding to the comment entry within the comment library.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a second set of comment selections upon determining the comment entry is a predetermined input.

6. A computer-implemented method of commenting digital content dynamically, comprising:

receiving a request to create a comment to a digital content from a user, the request comprising a comment entry entered by the user via a graphical interface of a learning system;

determining a context related to the digital content by collecting context information comprising a course, a section, an assignment, an instructor, or a student;

determining a subset of comments by searching a comment library based on the comment entry and the context;

determining a set of comment selections by applying a searching filter to the determined subset of comments, the set of comment selections comprising individual comment selections;

presenting the set of comment selections to the user within the graphical interface of the learning system;

providing and adjusting the set of comment searching filters based on the context, wherein the step of searching the library comprises searching the comment library according to the set of comment searching filters;

replacing the user comment entry with a user input corresponding to a comment selection within the set of comment selections presented to the user; and

associating the comment entry corresponding to the comment selection with the digital content and displaying the digital content along with the comment entry; wherein the digital content is a document received from a second user.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to store the comment entry in a second comment library.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to store metadata associated with the comment entry.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to provide and adjust the set of comment searching filters based on the context, wherein the step of searching the library comprises searching the comment library according to the set of comment searching filters.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to monitor the comment entry entered by the user.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to search a keyword or a full text match corresponding to the comment entry within the comment library when determining the set of comment selections.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to determine a second set of comment selections upon determining the comment entry is a predetermined input.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computer executable program code is further configured to cause the computing device to associate the comment entry corresponding to the comment selection with the digital content and display the digital content along with the comment entry.
