Abstract
Some embodiments of a system and methods that automate and facilitate the alignment of educational content from diverse sources are disclosed. This system and methods facilitate and enhance automated content connections. They are configured to create models that automate and facilitate the alignment of educational content from diverse sources, ranging from specific questions to instructional plans. These may be aligned independently or through a knowledge graph. This alignment includes jurisdiction dependent definitions of educational goals, such as standards and learning objectives. Model inputs include one content set being assimilated and associated metadata persisted in a data store where another content set can be added for comparison. Content is evaluated for perfect text matches and also imperfect matches that are close in semantic meaning. The system's algorithm compares multiple products, their education units of information, and academic standards as designated between various agencies. The results are provided in a user interface.
