A method and system for recruiting using various models to query, analyze, and process information pertaining to potential candidates for selection and acquisition is herein described. In particular, this innovation will revolutionize the current recruitment and application screening process to obtain admission for and gain entrance into an organization. The current bottom-up structure of the education systems requires students to find suitable organizations for pursuit of advancement. This new system (the Integrated Advancement System or IAS) provides a top-down structure to recruitment providing school recruiters the tools and information to pursue potential candidates for admission. For example, utilizing this new system students and schools will login to their respective portals with IAS to upload their information so that students and schools can then access a large pool of potential candidates. Students can then find schools they are interested in attending and identify schools matching their preferences. Schools will then be provided access to an aggregated candidate database (IAS) of potential students to search through and identify candidates for admission to their institution and request applications.

An online computerized system processes related methods to create of a electronic global data base platform for the rating, ranking, comparing and/or recognition of students in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) field. The methods employed include the accumulation, analysis, utilization, and publication of both public and student derived information related to rating, ranking, tracking, identification, and recognition of students. Students are rated and ranked against other students utilizing both public information and student-derived information. The system provides an online platform for students to be globally recognized, a database of STEM talent, and a platform where students can actively compete with other students to achieve high ratings and improve their ratings. The system can be utilized as a STEM clearinghouse and/or market exchange that identifies qualified individual students and market participants.

A method and system for use of a game with charity donations. In one example, a donation agent interacting with a merchant website can offer an online user an option to allocate at least a portion of a payment for or price of a purchase, associated with a transaction made by the user via the merchant website, to be donated by a merchant (corresponding to the merchant website), on behalf of the user, to a charity of the user's choosing. The donation agent can disburse the calculated donation amount to the charity selected by the customer. The points earned can be combined with a college scholarship award mechanism. The game encourages people to participate in the charity in a fun way, e.g., as a hobby every day, with a large user base.

A method and a server for providing online collaborative learning using a social network service are disclosed. The server for providing online collaborative learning comprises a category classification unit configured to classify learning information collected from a social network service SNS according to a category and store the collected learning information, a news extracting unit configured to extract learning information corresponding to query received from a learner terminal from the stored learning information and perform scoring about the extracted learning information according to preset reference, and a treemapping unit configured to determine a size of a specific shape in which the extracted learning information is visualized and provide the learning information visualized in the specific shape having the determined size to the learner terminal, the size being in proportion to a score corresponding to the scoring.

An integrated system and method, used by students and post-secondary educational institutions, allowing for a bi-directional exchange of information. The information going from the student to the post-secondary educational institution being credentialing and demographic in nature: age, GPA, test scores, interest, course of study, community service, extracurricular activity, and the like. The information going from the post-secondary educational institution to the student being degree requirements, course, cost per credit hour, extracurricular and sporting activities, cultural activities, fine arts activities, physical facilities, demographics, geographic, and meteorological.

An integrated system and method, used by a post-secondary educational institution such as a college or university, that tracks the aggregate student population's progress towards reaching their chosen degree at said educational institution. Degree requirements are reduces to a set of combined algebraic and Boolean expressions that, when met, indicate the student has met the graduation requirements. The student's transcript is used to populate the expression, allowing an analysis of still needed coursework. The system and method comprises aggregating all of the completed coursework for the post-secondary educational institution's current student population, to allow the institution to plan curriculum.

In some embodiments, a method comprises: for each one of a plurality of first category objects, calculating a corresponding affinity value for the corresponding one of the plurality of first category objects with respect to a second category object based on the corresponding number of persons associated with both the corresponding one of the plurality of first category objects and the second category object from a plurality of second category objects, the number of persons associated with the second category object, the corresponding number of second category objects that are associated with a person that is associated with the corresponding one of the plurality of first category objects, and the number of second category objects in the plurality of second category objects; ranking the first category objects based on their corresponding affinity values; and performing a function of an online service based on the ranking of the first category objects.

A system and software for scheduling courses at an institution that offers a variety of courses in different semesters. Scheduling software is provided that is accessible to a student through a computer network. The scheduling software filters courses being offered by eliminating courses that have been previously completed by the student. Courses that do not serve as one of the student's course requirements are also filtered. Likewise, courses that have prerequisites yet unattained by the student are filtered. After the initial filtering process, the student is presented with filtered course offerings. The student selects courses from the filtered course offerings, therein creating scheduled courses. The scheduling software automatically updates the filtered course offerings after each selection of a course to eliminate any of the offered courses that conflict in date and time with scheduled courses.
