Embodiments relate to systems and methods for electronically conditioning transmission of communications based on results of a connection assessment. An electronic file is executed at an electronic device, which causes a first query and a second query to be presented. A first query response and a second query response are identified. The first query response is stored in a locked configuration that inhibits the ability to modify the first query response to the first query. The second query response is stored but is not stored in the locked configuration. Query response data is generated that includes an identifier of the second query, an identifier of the second query response and an identifier of the electronic device. A connection variable is determined by assessing one or more network connections available to the electronic device. When a transmission condition is satisfied, the query response data is transmitted to another device.

Conditioning transmission of electronic communications encoding examination response data based on an assessment of a network connection

Systems and methods for automated aggregated content commenting are disclosed herein. Such a system can include a memory including a content database; an evaluation criteria database; and a comment database. The system can include at least one server. The at least one server can: receive a content identifier; receive a user identifier; provide a representation of the piece of content to the user; receive a comment from the user identifying a portion of the piece of content; generate a portion of the comment database linked to the user and the content; generate an entry in the portion of the comment database linked to the user and the content; and store the comment in the entry in the portion of the comment database.

Systems and methods for automated aggregated content comment generation

A system includes a query response engine that identifies first and second query responses. The engine stores the first query response in a locked configuration and the second query response in a configuration that enables the stored second query response to be modified. The query engine generates query response data associated with the first query response or the second query response. The system includes a connection assessor that determines a connection variable by assessing a network connection and determines whether a transmission condition is satisfied based on the connection variable. The system includes a query response transmitter that, when it is determined that the transmission condition is satisfied, transmits the query response data from the query response transmitter of the system to another device.

Preemptive notifications for electronic transmissions

Electronic transmissions with intermittent network connections

Systems and methods for automated node status determination are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory. The memory can include a Q-matrix that can include data identifying a relationship between at least a portion of a standard and at least one item of an assessment. The system can include at least one server. The at least one server can provide a first interim assessment including a first plurality of items. Each of the items can correspond to a child evidence node in a Bayesian network. The at least one server can generate first evidence by evaluating responses received to the first plurality of items from the first interim assessment and can calculate a mastery probability according to the Bayesian network of at least one parent node in the Bayesian network based on the generated first evidence.

Conditioned transmission of query responses and connection assessments

Embodiments relate to electronic administration of an academic examination. Execution of an exam file on a student device causes exam questions to be presented. Input from students is translated into responses. Response data identifying one or more responses and a student identifier may be transmitted from the student user device to another device during an exam period or at the end of the exam period. However, the transmission may be explicitly or functionally conditioned by network connection strength, network availability and so forth. When the condition is not satisfied or when a transmission fails, response data is locally and securely cached at the student user device. The response(s) is immediately locked or locked at the end of an examination period, such that a student user can no longer modify the response(s). The student user device subsequently transmits the response data (e.g., when the transmission condition is satisfied).

Semi-network independent educational electronic exam engine

A method and system for interactive case and video-based teacher training is provided. The invention includes a server portionand a client portion. A media database, a video assignment or video assessment database, an administration database, and a user databaseinteract with a computer systemand with a lesson-builder programand a lesson viewer programin order to allow for the development of time-indexed video case-centric lessons and courses, which are stored in a lesson database. The computer systemcommunicates with a plurality of client computersvia a browser program, allowing teacher-users or general users to interact with the lesson-builder programand the lesson viewer programfor the creation and use of lessons. The lessons generated and used in the present invention are video-centric, and the present invention provides for the use of time-coded or time-indexed references to relevant portions of the video.
