The instant invention is an apparatus and method to improve the learning experience by integrating feedback from multiple people through existing social media. The invention enables users, from within an application external to a social networking site, to automatically or manually post comments in social media related to the learning metrics of their own or other users that they have access to. These posts or comments are identifiable as associated with the external app and associated with user who posted and to the owner of the learning metric. The message can either be completely authored by the user, automatically or semi-automatically generated by the external app.

Integrated learning application

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to display electronic content, associate a subset of the electronic content with a comment from a user and submit the subset of the electronic content and the comment to a forum accessible by a plurality of users.

Apparatus and method for augmenting digital educational content with social learning tools

Methods, systems, and products that execute modeled business controls on a modeled input work item to generate a corresponding modeled output work item. Input data values included in the modeled input work item either match or approximate corresponding values included in a corresponding actual input work item. Each modeled business control is defined by business rules that represent a business policy, and the business rules and the input data values of the modeled input work item are used to generate the modeled output work item. An actual output work item from a business process is compared to the modeled output work item. The actual output work item includes actual output data values. The business process changes the actual input work item into the actual output work item. The modeled output work item includes modeled output data values. Differences between the actual and modeled output work items are reported.
