In accordance with some embodiments, systems, apparatus, interfaces, methods, and articles of manufacture are provided for ascertaining aspects of a user, such as the user's identity, competence, health, and state of mind. In various embodiment, data is captured about a user via a headset worn by the user. Based on the data, a determination may be made about an aspect of the user, and the user may accordingly be granted or denied access to a resource.

A learning system according to one aspect of the present invention presents a question to a learner, receives an answer to the question from the learner, and after answering is complete, presents the correct answer of the question to the learner. In a case where the learner’s answer to the presented question is incorrect, the learning system acquires measurement data of brain waves from when the correct answer to the incorrectly answered question was presented to the learner, and calculates the intensity of feedback-related negativity from the acquired measurement data. In accordance with the calculated intensity of the feedback-related negativity and the incorrectly answered question, the learning system acquires the next question to be presented.

A networked school communication system is provided that includes a district server configured to manage at least one communication system located within a district location managed by the district server. This communication system includes at least one message board including a housing with a front face, a message board interface for receiving message board commands, and a plurality of lighting elements located at the front face of the housing and configurable by the message board commands received over the message board interface.

Examples disclosed herein involve organizing training sequences for tracing courses. Examples disclosed include analyzing a profile of a user comprising a list of skills learned by the user, analyzing a curriculum of a training course comprising lessons, and organizing a training sequence of the lessons based on the profile and the curriculum.

Systems and methods of the present invention provide for storing textbook data, a glossary, and problems within a database; identifying a problem's guided solution, and a keyword within the solution matching an entry within the glossary, from which a skill tag is associated. The disclosed system then automatically generates an assessment including an assessment problem associated with the skill. If an incorrect response is received for the assessment problem, the database is updated to associate a user that input the response with the assessment problem and a skill. The system then automatically generates a customized exercise assignment associated in the database with the skill.

A system for streaming of contextual micro-content blocks for a workflow task to facilitate task performance by a user. The system includes a context sensing engine that processes one or more context inputs and generates an output based on the context inputs received from a front-end context monitoring appliance. The system includes a processing circuit having a navigation engine to navigate through digital information sources and search for information that matches one or more parameters of relevance for the workflow task. The processing circuit extracts computer-executable information files from the digital information sources that matches the one or more parameters of relevance for the workflow task and digitally processes the collected computer-executable information files into processed information blocks. The processing circuit includes a micro-content blocks creator for generating the contextual micro-content blocks from the processed information blocks. The micro-content blocks are delivered to the user when the micro-tasks are beginning.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for cognitive information processing. The cognitive information processing includes receiving data from a plurality of data sources; processing the data from the plurality of data sources to provide cognitively processed insights via an augmented intelligence system, the augmented intelligence system executing on a hardware processor of an information processing system, the augmented intelligence system and the information processing system providing a cognitive computing function; performing an augmented intelligence governance and assurance operation, the augmented intelligence governance and assurance operation ensuring augmented intelligence performance of the cognitive computing function; and, providing the cognitively processed insights to a destination, the destination comprising a cognitive application, the cognitive application enabling a user to interact with the cognitive insights.

A system for objective assessment of learning outcomes comprising a data repository comprising at least a hierarchical arrangement of a plurality of learning goals, a report generator coupled to the data repository, an analysis engine coupled to the data repository, a rules engine coupled to the data repository, and an application server adapted to receive application-specific requests from a plurality of client applications and coupled to the data repository. The application server is further adapted to provide an administrative interface for viewing, editing, or deleting a plurality of learning goals and relationships between them, learning assessment tools, learning outcome reports, and learning indexes, and the rules engine performs a plurality of consistency checks to ensure alignment between and among learning goals, learning assessment tools, learning outcomes, and learning indexes. The application server receives learning assessment data and the analysis engine performs analyses to generate a plurality of learning indexes.

Knowledge inference apparatus and method to determine emerging industrial trends and adapt strategic reasoning thereof are provided. In some aspects, user data, user stimulus-responses and user tracked data is received at a knowledge inference apparatus from multiple compute devices. The knowledge inference apparatus can generate compressed multidimensional profiles corresponding to multiple users and infer based on the received data, and the compressed multidimensional profiles multiple emerging trends developing in an industry. In some other aspects, the knowledge inference apparatus can further develop individualized strategic information for the multiple users to adequately respond to the inferred emerging trends.

A system and methods are provided to allow one or more users to account for all of the individuals in a group of people in order to reconcile or account for the individuals that are present against the individuals that are supposed to be present. In some embodiments, a method may include distributing reconciliation data to client devices of users comprising the steps of: retrieving the registered client devices of the users; retrieving a listing of the students associated with each user; retrieving current student attendance data; determining if each student on listing is in attendance; populating a reconciliation listing with student data of students in attendance; and distributing the reconciliation listing to the client device of the user associated with each user.
