Solution Overview

Problem

Current education systems lack efficient management of microlearning events, with manual organization and restricted access to events, limiting the ability of users to establish and manage transactional and functional relationships effectively in modular learning environments.

Innovation Solution

A modular learning system that validates user credentials, determines compatible learning applications and services, and manages the purchase and performance of microlearning events by publishing them to a marketplace, allowing users to select and purchase services in modular increments, facilitating access to various learning resources and events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual event organization is used, then event management can be performed, but efficiency and scalability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent management efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic event organization and management through automated credential validation, service compatibility determination, and marketplace publishing mechanisms, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining high efficiency and scalability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical event organization processes with automated computational systems that validate credentials, determine service compatibility, and manage marketplace transactions, significantly improving productivity without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If restricted access to events is implemented, then institutional control is maintained, but user access and resource utilization are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access flexibilityVSAvoidcredential validation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal credential validation mechanism that works across multiple institutions and event types, allowing flexible user access while maintaining reliable authentication through a standardized validation process that recognizes various credential types from different educational institutions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary credential validation system that mediates between institutional restrictions and user access needs, verifying credentials through a neutral third-party mechanism that maintains both access flexibility and authentication reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If modular learning services are introduced, then service flexibility and user selection are improved, but system complexity and service coordination increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice selection flexibilityVSAvoidservice coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments learning services into independent modular units that can be individually selected, validated, and coordinated through automated compatibility checking, allowing high service flexibility without proportionally increasing coordination complexity through systematic breakdown of service components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic service compatibility determination that automatically adjusts service coordination based on user credentials, event requirements, and available resources, maintaining system flexibility while managing complexity through adaptive rather than static coordination mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

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.
