Solution Overview

Problem

Users accessing multiple electronic learning systems from different organizations face challenges in organizing, sorting, and searching through large volumes of learning materials, and managing separate logins and notifications across these systems, leading to inefficiencies and time consumption.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilizes a global user identifier to link multiple organization identifiers, enabling a navigation object with organization objects and alert indicators, allowing seamless navigation and alert management across multiple electronic learning systems, with features like consolidated alert indicators and automatic clearing of alerts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users access multiple electronic learning systems from different organizations, then they can participate in training courses from various organizations, but it becomes challenging to organize, sort, or search through a large number of learning materials

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to multiple organizationsVSAvoidnavigation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the navigation interface by creating separate organization objects within a unified navigation structure. Each organization is represented as a distinct object that can be independently managed, making it easier to organize and search through learning materials across multiple organizations without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The navigation object serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides navigation across different organizations, organizes learning materials, displays alert indicators, and manages user enrollment status. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate interfaces for each function, thereby reducing overall navigation complexity while maintaining access to multiple organizations.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If users access multiple electronic learning systems, then they can receive training from various organizations, but managing separate logins and notifications across these systems becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-organization accessVSAvoidtime for login management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple organization logins into a single unified login process. The navigation object displays a consolidated list of organizations the user is enrolled in, allowing users to access multiple systems through one interface rather than managing separate logins for each organization, thereby significantly reducing time spent on login management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages notification indicators and alert displays across all organizations without requiring manual intervention. The navigation object automatically updates and displays alert indicators for each organization, eliminating the need for users to manually check or manage notifications across multiple systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If users access multiple electronic learning systems, then they can be enrolled in more courses, but it becomes challenging to locate desired learning materials

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of enrollmentsVSAvoidmaterial search efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The navigation object segments learning materials by organization, displaying them in organized sections within the unified interface. This segmentation allows users to quickly locate desired learning materials by navigating through organized sections rather than searching through a disorganized collection of materials from multiple organizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The navigation object acts as an intermediary layer between the user and the learning materials. It provides a standardized search and navigation interface that mediates access to materials from different organizations, making it easier to locate desired materials without requiring users to navigate through different organizational systems individually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method and system for providing navigation of multiple organizations of one or more electronic learning systems. The method involves operating a processor to obtain a global user identifier, obtain a navigation object to be displayed at the user computing device, and automatically generate an organization alert indicator for an organization object when the user has an outstanding alert from the electronic learning system of the organization. The navigation object includes a plurality of organization objects. Each of the organization objects correspond to an organization identifier of the plurality of organization identifiers for navigating to an electronic learning system of the organization.
