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 content library database comprising a plurality of assessment data packets and a plurality of content data packets; at least one server configured to:
receive 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 content is presented to the user and wherein a user response is received;
present assessment data packets to the user via the user interface;
generate a readiness value based on user responses received to the presented assessment data packets;
progressively deactivate functionalities of the user interface as the readiness value increases; and
trigger delivery of a mastery assessment when the readiness value exceeds a threshold.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server is further configured to: retrieve a mastery threshold; and compare the readiness value to the mastery threshold.

3 . The system of claim 2 , 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.

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

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

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

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the deactivation of functionalities of the user interface comprises modifying the user interface.

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

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

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

11 . A method for automated user interface customization, the method comprising:
receiving 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 content is presented to the user and wherein a user response is received; presenting assessment data packets to the user via the user interface; generating a readiness value based on user responses received to the presented assessment data packets; progressively deactivating functionalities of the user interface as the readiness value increases; and triggering delivery of a mastery assessment when the readiness value exceeds a threshold.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising: retrieving a mastery threshold; and comparing the readiness value to the mastery threshold.

13 . The method of claim 12 , 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.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the functionalities of the first user interface comprise content presentation functionalities.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the content presentation functionalities comprise mastery facilitators.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising retrieving a plurality of deactivation thresholds, wherein each of the plurality of deactivation thresholds is associated with a readiness value and functionality for deactivation when the deactivation threshold is met or exceeded.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the deactivation of functionalities of the user interface comprises modifying the user interface.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising iteratively selecting and presenting content to the user until a termination criterion is met.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the termination criterion comprises a mastery threshold.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the set of responses comprises four responses.
