Abstract

A method includes storing content graph information regarding individual items of content accessed by one or more users of a system, storing path graph information comprising the order in which each of the one or more users accessed individual items of content, and selecting individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information and the stored path graph information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory; and
computer-executable instructions stored on a computer readable medium, the instructions readable by the one or more processors, the instructions, when read and executed, causing the one or more processors to:
store content graph information regarding individual items of electronic learning curriculum content accessible by one or more users of the system;
store path graph information comprising the order in which each of the one or more users accessed individual items of electronic learning curriculum content, wherein the stored path graph information is different from the stored content graph information; and
select individual items of electronic learning curriculum content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information and the stored path graph information, wherein:
a relationship between the one or more users of the system and the subsequent user is defined in a social graph; and
the selection of the individual items is further based upon the relationship defined in the social graph.

2. The system of claim 1 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the one or more processors to:
store social network information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user; and
select individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the social network information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user by applying the social network information to the stored content graph information and stored path graph information.

3. The system of claim 1 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the one or more processors to:
store biographical information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user; and
select individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the biographical information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user.

4. The system of claim 1 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the one or more processors to:
store feedback from the one or more users that accessed the one or more items of individual content; and
select individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the feedback.

5. The system of claim 1 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the one or more processors to:
store information regarding one or more goals of the one or more users related to the one or more items of individual content; and
select individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the information regarding the one or more goals.

6. A method comprising:
storing content graph information regarding individual items of electronic learning curriculum content accessible by one or more users of a system;
storing path graph information comprising the order in which each of the one or more users accessed individual items of electronic learning curriculum content, wherein the stored path graph information is different from the stored content graph information; and
selecting individual items of electronic learning curriculum content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information and the stored path graph information, wherein:
a relationship between the one or more users of the system and the subsequent user defined in a social graph; and
the selection of the individual items is further based upon the relationship defined in the social graph.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing social network information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user; and
selecting individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the social network information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user by applying the social network information to the stored content graph information and stored path graph information.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing biographical information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user; and
selecting individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the biographical information regarding the one or more users and the subsequent user.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising
storing feedback from the one or more users that accessed the one or more items of individual content; and
selecting individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the feedback.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
storing information regarding one or more goals of the one or more users related to the one or more items of individual content; and
selecting individual items of content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information, the stored path graph information, and the information regarding the one or more goals.

11. An article of manufacture comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium; and
computer-executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, causing the processor to:
store content graph information regarding individual items of electronic learning curriculum content accessible by one or more users of the system;
store path graph information comprising the order in which each of the one or more users accessed individual items of electronic learning curriculum content, wherein the stored path graph information is different from the stored content graph information; and
select individual items of electronic learning curriculum content to be presented to a subsequent user of the system and an order in which such individual items of content are presented to the subsequent user based on the stored content graph information and the stored path graph information, wherein:
a relationship between the one or more users of the system and the subsequent user defined in a social graph; and

the selection of the individual items is further based upon the relationship d
