Managing offline presentation of learning material may include associating identification strings with various portions of the learning material. When a learner is presented with the learning materials, identification strings associated with the learning materials may also be presented to the learner. The progress of the learner with respect to the learning materials may be identified based on the identification strings.

A method for constraining learning strategies for a training course includes determining learning strategies available for the training course in a learning system. A subset of the learning strategies available in the learning system may be selected as learning strategies valid for the training course.

Systems and techniques by which content and presentation players can communicate are described. In one aspect, presentation system for rendering a presentation for a user includes one or more output devices, a presentation including machine-readable descriptions of content and a service request triggering mechanism to trigger a service request, and a presentation player configured to generate a rendition of the presentation at one or more output devices and to respond to the service request with a service response to populate the rendition of the presentation. The service response includes at least one of information characterizing an arrangement of content in the presentation and information characterizing prior navigation of the user through the content of the presentation. The presentation further includes extraction logic to extract relevant information from a response to the service request for addition to the rendition of the presentation.

Communications between content and presentation players

An example method for time-out handling comprises establishing a session from a network-based application at a client to a web server. The method includes identifying a time-out parameter for the web server. A timestamp of the established session is saved at the client. The method also includes determining a first time-out by adding the identified time-out parameter to the timestamp and triggering a system-based communication from the network-based application to keep the session alive. The method may be implemented by a client of a learning management system.

Network time out handling

A method for changing learning strategies includes presenting a training course to a learner in order based on a learning strategy. A disparate learning strategy is received from the learner specific to the training course. The disparate learning strategy is applied to the training course. The training course is presented to the learner in order based on the disparate learning strategy.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for curriculum management. The techniques include defining a curriculum type that includes one or more curriculum type elements, the curriculum type being a template for a curriculum; and defining a curriculum based on the defined curriculum type by selecting one or more curriculum elements for each of one or more of the curriculum type elements. The defined curriculum can include different types of training courses, including web-based trainings, classroom trainings, and on-the-job trainings.
