Abstract

In non-limiting examples, media can be created from any type of existing content. An exemplary media may be an assignment media (e.g. document) that is created for educational purposes. Content that is unassociated with a learning management system may be accessed. Input may be received requesting creation of an assignment media based on the accessed content. The request may be received through a learning management application, where the assignment media may be created based on the received input. Creation of an assignment media automatically associates the assignment media with a user account of a learning management application and a distributed network storage that corresponds with the user account. In some examples, the created assignment media may comprise one or more portions of the accessed content. The created assignment media may be accessed through the learning management application. Other examples are also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
detecting through a learning management application, access to content presented in an application or service that is external to the learning management application;
receiving, through the learning management application executing on the computing device, an input requesting creation of an assignment media, wherein the input request is submitted by a student user account that is associated with the learning management application;
creating the assignment media based on the received input, wherein the creating automatically inserts one or more portions of the accessed content into the assignment media based on the detected access to the content;
accessing, through the learning management application, the created assignment media; and
displaying the created assignment media.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accessed content is content that has not previously been associated as an assignment in the learning management application.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: automatically associating, through the learning management application, the detected access to the content with the received input requesting creation of the assignment media.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the automatically associating of the detected access with the received input further comprises analyzing the accessed content using one or more application resources associated with a platform, and wherein insertion of the one or more portions of accessed content is determined based on an analysis of the access to the content using the one or more application resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accessed content comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of: an email message, a text message, social networking content, a photo, an audio file, a hyperlink, and handwritten input.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received input requesting creation of the assignment media comprises a selection, through the learning management application, of a document type for the assignment media.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the creating automatically associates the assignment media with the student user account of the learning management application and a distributed network storage that corresponds with the student user account.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: submitting, through the learning management application, the created assignment media for evaluation, wherein the assignment media is created by a same user that submits the created assignment media for evaluation.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: submitting, through a productivity application, the created assignment media for evaluation, wherein the submitting further comprises receiving selection of a user interface feature associated with the learning management application, and wherein the user interface feature is incorporated into an application command control for the productivity application.

10. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises:
detecting, through a learning management application executing on the system, access to content presented in an application or service that is external to the learning management application;
receiving, through the learning management application, an input requesting creation of an assignment media, wherein the input request is submitted by a student user account that is associated with the learning management application;
creating the assignment media based on the received input, wherein the creating automatically inserts one or more portions of the accessed content into the assignment media based on the detected access to the content;
accessing, through the learning management application, the created assignment media; and
displaying the created assignment media.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the accessed content is content that has not previously been associated as an assignment in the learning management application.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the method, executed by the at least one processor, further comprises: automatically associating, through the learning management application, the detected access to the content with the received input requesting creation of the assignment media.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the automatically associating of the detected access with the received input further comprises analyzing the accessed content using one or more application resources associated with a platform, and wherein insertion of the one or more portions of accessed content is determined based on an analysis of the access to the content using the one or more application resources.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the accessed content comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of: an email message, a text message, social networking content, a photo, an audio file, a hyperlink, and handwritten input.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the received input requesting creation of the assignment media comprises a selection, through the learning management application, of a document type for the assignment media.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the creating automatically associates the assignment media with the student user account of the learning management application and a distributed network storage that corresponds with the student user account.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the executed method further comprises: submitting, through the learning management application, the created assignment media for evaluation, and wherein the assignment media is created by a same user that submits the created assignment media for evaluation.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the executed method further comprises: submitting, through a productivity application, the created assignment media for evaluation, wherein the submitting further comprises receiving selection of a user interface feature associated with the learning management application, and wherein the user interface feature is incorporated into an application command control for the productivity application.

19. A method comprising:
receiving, through a learning management application executing on a computing device, a request to create an assignment media;
automatically associating the received request with access to content in an application or service, simultaneously executing on the computing device, that is external to the learning management system;
creating the assignment media based on the received request, wherein the creating automatically inserts one or more portions of the content, accessed in the application or service, into the assignment media based on an automatic association with the received request to create the assignment media; and
providing access to the created assignment media through the learning management application.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the content accessed is content that has not previously been associated as an assignment in the learning management application, wherein the automatically associating of the detected access with the received input further comprises analyzing the accessed content using one or more application resources associated with a platform, and wherein insertion of the one or more portions of the content is determined based on an analysis of the
