Microlearning event management in a modular learning system

Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for modularly scheduling learning events in a modular learning system. Information about application services and microlearning events are stored in the modular learning system, with each microlearning event comprising a plurality of learning applications associated with the application services. The modular learning system receives a request from an organizing user to organize a microlearning event, and in response the modular learning system generates a set of services compatible with the event.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about managing microlearning events in a modular learning system. It describes a system and method of scheduling and organizing learning events in the system. When the system receives a request to initiate an event, it validates the user's credentials and determines which learning applications or services to use. It also checks if all the necessary components are available and if the performance requirements are met. Once all the requirements are satisfied, the event is published for users to access. Additionally, the invention provides a method for managing the published microlearning event. Basically, the invention makes it easier to create and manage microlearning events in a modular learning system.

Problems solved by technology

Further, some organizing institutions like certain preschools, schools, colleges or universities in the current education environment may grant event access only to students who are admitted to each such institution, with access restricted to other educational events of other organizing institutions to any student of a particular institution.
