Subscription Training Distribution via SCORM and xAPI Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for employee training are inefficient, as they result in low production value materials and limited distribution, failing to effectively address workplace losses such as workers' compensation claims, theft, and violence, due to the lack of resources and skills among security integrators and human resource outsourcers to produce high-quality training content.
Innovation Solution
A business method utilizing web-based technology to provide high-definition training videos converted into SCORM and Experience API formats, distributed through large security integrators and human resource outsourcers on a subscription basis, offering high-quality, interactive, and immersive training experiences that are tangentially related to their primary services, thus overcoming the limitations of existing direct sales methods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If security integrators and human resource outsourcers produce training materials themselves, then distribution reach is improved, but production quality deteriorates due to limited skills and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary platform that connects content creators with security integrators and human resource outsourcers. This platform enables these distributors to access high-quality training materials without needing to produce them in-house, thus maintaining both wide distribution reach and high production quality simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal platform that serves multiple functions: content creation, quality assurance, distribution management, and integration with various Learning Management Systems. This multi-functional platform allows security integrators and HR outsourcers to distribute high-quality training materials across different channels and formats without compromising quality.
2Reliability
If high-quality training materials are produced with advanced production values, then training effectiveness is improved, but cost increases making it unaffordable for many businesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs digital copying and distribution of training materials through the platform. High-quality training content is created once with advanced production values, then replicated and distributed digitally to numerous clients at minimal marginal cost, making affordable access to high-quality training possible for businesses of all sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements flexible pricing parameters and subscription models that allow businesses to access high-quality training materials at different price points. The platform enables parameter changes in delivery formats, access duration, and user licensing to match different budget constraints while maintaining content quality.
3Productivity
If training materials are made widely accessible through multiple distribution channels, then sales volume is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the distribution system into modular components: content management module, user authentication module, LMS integration module, and billing module. This segmentation allows the platform to handle multiple distribution channels independently while maintaining overall system coherence, thus increasing sales volume without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform acts as an intermediary layer between content creators, distributors, and end users. This intermediary architecture simplifies the overall system by centralizing complex functions (authentication, content delivery, billing) in one place, allowing security integrators and HR outsourcers to distribute training materials through multiple channels without managing the underlying complexity themselves.

AI summary
A method for a seller of educational materials including webisodes, dealing with loss prevention, sales and customer service, to sell such materials via security integrators, payroll and human resource outsourcers which are not primarily involved in the business of sales of such training materials to end-user businesses that are the clients of the integrators and outsourcers. Accordingly a form of tangential distribution is practiced capitalizing on a vast threshold between demand and supply and availability and economic feasibility of producing such high quality materials. The method involves identification of tier resellers, selling of a subscription basis training series mainly accessible via password protected online access to, generally, SCORM and Experience API conformant, formatted high quality video materials.
