Described herein are improved systems and methods for overcoming technical problems associated with limited collaborative learning functionality in educational programming platforms.

Collaborative learning system

A computer-implemented method according to various aspects of the present disclosure includes modifying a lesson module, by a computer system. The modifying the lesson module includes generating an activity. The activity includes a coding puzzle and a puzzle runner mode. The method also includes, in the puzzle runner mode, displaying an indication that the coding puzzle is solved after the coding puzzle is solved and displaying a code runtime area showing a step-by-step execution of manipulated code of the lesson module.

Systems and methods for customized lesson creation and application

A computer-implemented method according to various aspects of the present disclosure includes: retrieving, by a computer system, a lesson module from a database; receiving, by the computer system, information regarding a student; modifying the lesson module, by the computer system, based on the information regarding the student; and providing the lesson module to the student.

A method including receiving a selection of code and identifying a code block within the code. The method also includes comparing the identified code block to predetermined code blocks to determine a similarity between the identified code block and one or more blocks of the predetermined code blocks. The method can also include identifying a skill based on the similarity between the identified code block and the one or more blocks of the predetermined code blocks as well as generating a lesson module for teaching the skill.

Systems and methods for programming instruction

A computer-implemented method according to various aspects of the present disclosure includes receiving, by a computer system, a selection of a programming goal; identifying a skill associated with the goal; and generating, by the computer system, a lesson module for teaching the skill, the lesson module including an ordered list of steps for presentation to a student to teach the skill.

Systems and methods for goal-based programming instruction

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an integrated developer environment that allows users to develop software applications using both visual blocks and text coding, and to seamlessly transition between visual and text coding as desired. This not only provides a powerful tool for sophisticated software developers to quickly develop and debug applications, but also helps newer programmers learn the principles of software development by allowing them to easily transition between the underlying text code associated with visual blocks and vice versa.

Integrated development environment for visual and text coding

Systems and methods are provided to coordinate meetings between users of mobile devices on a mobile communications network. Users of the mobile communication network send one another meeting invitations over the network. The system receives the current geospatial position of one or more such users, as well as category selections that relate to attributes of potential meeting locations meetings. The system selects meeting locations for users using the current geospati.al positions of the users and the category selections such that meeting locations are located at a geospati.al positions between the users. The system can additionally select meeting locations that factor in user preferences and historical activities.

The system can additionally select meeting locations that factor in user preferences and historical activities.

A programming learning center includes a learning center workshop and a learning module generator. The learning center workshop allows a user to create a computing program by connecting programming blocks portrayed visually within the learning center workshop as building blocks. The learning module generator generates a learning module from the computing program. The learning module iterates through the computing program to generate a sequential list of steps. The learning module generator allows the user to add notations to the sequential list of steps and to reorder steps in the sequential list of steps.

Systems and methods are provided to transmit advertisements to users of mobile communications networks based, at least in part, on such users' real-time geospatial location and known interests. Advertisers transmit advertisements, such as directory listings, coupons, offers and promotions to a mobile advertising service. Each advertisement is associated with at least one geospatial location and at least one category. Users of mobile communication networks submit queries, via their mobile devices, to the mobile adverting service for advertisements relevant to the users' current geospatial location and interests. Advertisements meeting query criteria are selected and transmitted to the users' mobile devices.

System and method for hyper local advertisements in a mobile communication network

The present disclosure describes a system and method for managing through telephony systems a customer reward system, such as, a spend and get reward system. In one embodiment, a virtual punch card ('VPC') customer loyalty reward program system and method are managed through a telephonic communication connection provider.

Telephony based reward system

Systems and methods are provided to transmit deals, promotions and other manner of advertisements and offers to users of mobile devices that are relevant to the users' current location and intent. Users' current intent includes actions the user is likely to take in the near future, such as, for example, purchase a specific product or service. Users' probable intent is inferred from activities performed by users on their mobile devices such as, for example, user queries relating to products and services. Businesses set up offers that are directed to specific geospatial locations and specific user intent. When a user enters a geospatial location associated with an offer and manifests intent associated with the offer, the offer is transmitted to the user's mobile device.
