Abstract

Generally, a computer implemented layered multimedia assessment system which provides one or more server computers that allow one or more client devices and one or more administrator devices access to an layered multimedia assessment application which provides an administrator user interface and client user interface which serially provide one or more assignment events each having a first step in which the client user interacts with the client user interface to perform an assessment of assignment content and performs an interactive examination and a second step in which the client user participates to evaluate the performance of other client users.

Claims

1. A computer, comprising:

a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable media, including

a graphic user interface module which functions to display a client user interface on a display surface of said computer, said client user interface depicting;

an assessment selection image area including a plurality of assessment identification areas each filled with an assessment identifier which upon selection by a first user causes concurrent depiction in separate display areas in said client user interface;

an assessment overview;

a plurality of resource files; and

an assignment events interface which depicts;

a plurality of assignment events associated with said assessment identifier selected by said first user;

a date associated with each of said plurality of assignment events; and

a first prompt area and a second prompt area associated with each of said plurality of assignment events;

a tracker module which matches an actual date against said date associated with each of said plurality of assignment events depicted in said assignment events interface;

a prompt generator which generates;

a first prompt in said first prompt area upon occurrence of a match between said actual date and a corresponding one of said dates associated with said plurality of assignment events, wherein said first prompt prompts said first user to perform a first interactive examination associated with said assignment event; and

a second prompt in said second prompt area upon completion by said first user of said first interactive examination, wherein said second prompt prompts said user to perform a second interactive examination associated with said assignment event.

2. The computer of claim 1, wherein upon first user interaction with said first prompt, said assignment event interface depicts said first interactive examination associated with said assignment event in said client user interface, concurrently displaying:

a media image in a first media image area;

an instruction image in a first instruction image area; and

an interactive examination image in a first interactive examination image area.

3. The computer of claim 2, further comprising a plurality of queries related to said media image serially displayed in said first interactive examination area, each of said plurality of queries having an answer selectable by interaction of said first user in said client user interface.

4. The computer of claim 3, further comprising a timer image displayed in said client user interface which counts down an amount of time allocated to provide said answer to each of said plurality of queries.

5. The computer of claim 4, wherein said first interactive examination image area functions as an oral examination image display area to display an oral examination image.

6. The computer of claim 5, further comprising an oral examination image control depicted in said first interactive examination area, said oral examination control including an image capture device selector which by first user interaction allows selection of one of a plurality of image capture devices.

7. The computer of claim 6, further comprising an audio capture device selector depicted in said first interactive examination area which by first user interaction allows selection of one of a plurality of audio capture devices.

8. The computer of claim 7, further comprising an oral examination initiation control depicted in said first interactive examination area which by first user interaction initiates an oral examination, including:

display of said media image in said first media image area;

display of said oral examination image in said first interactive examination image area; and

display of said plurality of queries related to said media image serially displayed in said first interactive examination area.

9. The computer of claim 8, further comprising an image capture activity indicator, and an audio capture activity indicator which correspondingly display image capture activity indicia and audio capture activity indicia related to capture of said oral examination image.

10. The computer of claim 9, further comprising an oral examination termination control which upon first user interaction:

terminates said interactive examination, and

displays said second prompt in said assignment events display area.

11. The computer of claim 10, wherein upon user interaction with said second prompt, said assignment event interface depicts said second interactive examination associated with said assignment event in said client user interface, including:

answers of said first interactive examination submitted by a second user in a second media image area;

a second instruction image in a second instruction image area providing instructions on assessing said answers; and

a second interactive examination image including serial display of a plurality of queries related to said answers of said second user, each of said plurality of queries having an answer selectable by interaction of said first user in said second interactive examination image area.

12. The computer of claim 11, wherein said second media image area displays a video image of said second user taking said first interactive examination.

13. The computer of claim 12, further comprising a video image selector depicted in said second interactive examination area which allows selection of one of a plurality of said video images to be displayed in said second media image area.

14. The computer of claim 13, further comprising a video valuation element depicted in a video valuation display area in said second interactive examination area which by first user interaction displays a video valuation element.

15. The computer of claim 14, further comprising an annotation display area depicted in said second interactive examination area which by first user interaction allows direct entry of annotations by said first user.

16. The computer of claim 3, further comprising a save image area, which by user interaction saves said answer to each of said plurality of query images.
