Abstract

A system and methods for the automated generation of individual transition plans while maintaining a knowledge base that is accessible by all participating individuals as the plan is executed and managed. A computer database receives a student'"'"'s post school goals, receives the student'"'"'s present levels of performance, determines the student'"'"'s transition services needed to achieve the post school goals, and generates an individual transition plan. The individual transition plan is also periodically updated upon any changes in the individual'"'"'s present levels of performance. The system is accessible by an internet site for individuals participating in the individual transition plan to permit information in the system to be exchanged with and between authorized users. The system may also include security that permits access to certain areas of the system by authorized users. A plurality of system services, a plurality of work areas and a plurality of application services on the system are accessible by authorized users. Related methods are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A system for the automated generation of individual transition plans, said system comprising:

a computer database for receiving a student'"'"'s post school goals, for receiving said student'"'"'s present levels of performance, for determining the transition services needed to achieve the post school goals, and for generating an individual transition plan.

2. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 1 wherein the student'"'"'s progress may be analyzed by the computer database against the individual transition plan to provide an updated individual transition plan.

3. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 1 further comprising:

an internet site that is accessible by individuals participating in the individual transition plan; and

said computer database in communication with the internet site to permit information to flow between the database and the individuals participating in the individual transition plan.

4. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 3 further comprising:

a security level that only permits authorized users to have access to said system.

5. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 3 further comprising:

a plurality of system services on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of system services includes one or more services selected from the group consisting of user management, system search, group/tenant management, security management, area management, web drive and wireless management.

6. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 3 further comprising:

a plurality of system work areas on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of system work areas includes one or more system work areas selected from the group consisting of enterprise areas, individual areas, user areas and experience areas.

7. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 6 further comprising:

a manager'"'"'s layer on said system that permits access of certain information in said plurality of system work areas only by authorized managers, wherein said manager'"'"'s layer includes one or more managers selected from the group consisting of managers of knowledge, managers of teams, managers of process and managers of risk.

8. The system for the automated generation of individual transition plans in accordance with claim 3 further comprising:

a plurality of application services on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of application services includes one or more application services selected from the group consisting of calendaring, Gantt charts, Email, surveys, discussion groups, personal assistant, version control, work flow, computer based training, lessons learned, individual planning, peer-to-peer messaging, report builder, instant alerts, web agent and experiences.

9. A method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving a student'"'"'s post school goals into the system;

receiving the student'"'"'s present levels of performance into the system;

automatically determining from the system the transition services that the student needs to achieve the post school goals; and

generating within the system an individual transition plan for said student.

10. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 9, said method comprising the additional steps of:

analyzing the student'"'"'s progress within the system against the individual transition plan; and

generating within the system an updated individual transition plan.

11. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 9, said method comprising the additional steps of:

providing internet site access to the system for individuals participating in the individual transition plan; and

communicating between the internet site and the computer database to permit information to flow between said database and the individuals participating in the individual transition plan.

12. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 11, said method comprising the additional step of:

using a security level to only permit authorized users to have access to the system.

13. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 11, said method comprising the additional step of:

providing a plurality of system services on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of system services includes one or more services selected from the group consisting of user management, system search, group/tenant management, security management, area management, web drive and wireless management.

14. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 11, said method comprising the additional step of:

providing a plurality of system work areas on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of system work areas includes one or more system work areas selected from the group consisting of enterprise areas, individual areas, user areas and experience areas.

15. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 14, said method comprising the additional step of:

providing a manager'"'"'s layer on said system that permits access of certain information in said plurality of system work areas only by authorized managers, wherein said manager'"'"'s layer includes one or more managers selected from the group consisting of managers of knowledge, managers of teams, managers of process and managers of risk.

16. The method for the automated generation of individual transition plans for students in a system that includes a computer database in accordance with claim 11, said method comprising the additional step of:

providing a plurality of application services on said system that are accessible by authorized users, wherein said plurality of application services includes one or more application services selected from the group consisting of calendaring, Gantt charts, Email, surveys, discussion groups, personal assistant, version control, work flow, computer based training, lessons learned, individual planning, peer-to-peer messaging, report builder, instant alerts, web agent and experiences.
