Abstract

Systems and methods for automated and direct network positioning are disclosed herein. The system can include memory that can include a content library database and a structure sub-database. The system can include at least one server. The at least one server can: receive a data packet previously unassociated with the hierarchy in the structure sub-database; identify one of the plurality of positions within the hierarchy for the data packet; receive user information; present a series of assessment data packets to the user; receive a response from the user subsequent to presentation of each of the assessment data packets; evaluate the received responses; adjust a location of the user within the hierarchy based on the evaluating of the received responses; and present a content data packet to the user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for automated user interface customization, the system comprising:
memory comprising a database, comprising: a plurality of assessment data packets, a correct response to each of the plurality of assessment data packets, a plurality of content data packets, a plurality of user portfolio data, at least one readiness threshold, at least one deactivation threshold, and at least one mastery threshold; and
at least one server configured to:
select, from the plurality of user portfolio data in the database, user information, wherein the user information identifies a user;
direct launch of a user interface on a user device, the user interface comprising a plurality of windows wherein:
a first window comprises content presented to the user comprising at least one assessment data packet selected from the plurality of assessment data packets;
a second window comprises a response component receiving, from the user, a response to each of the at least one assessment data packet; and
a third window comprises a plurality of learning aid components;

generate, based on each of the at least one response matching the correct response, a determined usage vector, and from the determined usage vector, a readiness value;
responsive to the readiness value meeting or exceeding the at least one readiness threshold, execute a software function within the third window configured to progressively deactivate functionalities of the user interface, and to update at least one of the plurality of learning aid components within the third window to indicate a deactivation of the functionalities, as the readiness value increases; and
responsive to the readiness value meeting or exceeding the mastery threshold, trigger delivery of a mastery assessment.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the readiness value comprises: identifying a set of responses received from the user; determining usage of mastery facilitators associated with the identified set of responses received from the user; and generating a score for the identified set of responses.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the functionalities of the user interface comprise content presentation functionalities.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the content presentation functionalities comprise mastery facilitators.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one server is further configured to retrieve a plurality of deactivation thresholds including the at least one deactivation threshold, wherein each of the plurality of deactivation thresholds is associated with a readiness value and functionality for deactivation when the at least one deactivation threshold is met or exceeded.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the deactivation of functionalities of the user interface comprises modifying the user interface to grey out portions of the user interface.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one server is further configured to select and present content to the user until a termination criterion is met.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the termination criterion comprises a mastery threshold.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of responses comprises four responses.

10. A method for automated user interface customization, the method comprising:
storing, within a database, a plurality of assessment data packets, a correct response to each of the plurality of assessment data packets, a plurality of content data packets, a plurality of user portfolio data, at least one readiness threshold, at least one deactivation threshold, and at least one mastery threshold
selecting, from the plurality of user portfolio data in the database, user information from a user device at at least one server, wherein the user information identifies a user;
directing with the at least one server launch of a user interface on the user device, the user interface comprising a plurality of windows wherein:
a first window comprises content presented to the user comprising at least one assessment data packet selected from the plurality of assessment data packets;
a second window comprises a response component receiving, from the user, a response to each of the at least one assessment data packet; and
a third window comprises a plurality of learning aid components;

generating, based on each of the at least one response matching the correct response, a determined usage vector, and from the determined usage vector, a readiness value;
responsive to the readiness value meeting or exceeding the at least one readiness threshold, executing a software function within the third window configured to progressively deactivate functionalities of the user interface, and to update at least one of the plurality of learning aid components within the third window to indicate a deactivation of the functionalities, as the readiness value increases; and
responsive to the readiness value meeting or exceeding the mastery threshold, triggering delivery of a mastery assessment.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein generating the readiness value comprises: identifying a set of responses received from the user; determining usage of mastery facilitators associated with the identified set of responses received from the user; and generating a score for the identified set of responses.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the functionalities of the user interface comprise content presentation functionalities.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the content presentation functionalities comprise mastery facilitators.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising retrieving a plurality of deactivation thresholds including the at least one deactivation threshold, wherein each of the plurality of deactivation thresholds is associated with a readiness value and functionality for deactivation when the at least one deactivation threshold is met or exceeded.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the deactivation of functionalities of the user interface comprises modifying the user interface to grey out portions of the user interface.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising iteratively selecting and presenting content to the user until a termination criterion is met.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the termination criterion comprises a mastery threshold.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the set of responses comprises four responses.
