Decision support and work management for synchronizing learning services
First Claim
1. A synchronized learning solution network adapted to facilitate information sharing among a learning services providing entity, said network comprising:
- a content development platform, said content development platform containing electronic tools for receiving input relating to the compiling of instructional materials and generating electronic learning content;
an electronic delivery platform, said electronic delivery platform containing electronic tools for delivering instruction to students, said delivered instruction incorporating said electronic learning content;
a learning administration platform, said learning administration platform containing electronic tools for storing said electronic learning content, storing registrar information regarding said students and said instruction, and storing catalog information regarding said learning content; and
a resources synchronization platform, said resources synchronization platform including a resources synchronization tool adapted to obtain and store data regarding compilation and generation functions as performed by said content development platform, data regarding delivery functions as performed by said delivery platform, and said registrar information and said catalog information from said learning administration platform;
wherein said resources synchronization tool provides an interface for accessing and processing said stored compilation data, generation data, delivery data, registrar information and catalog information upon request, said synchronization tool processing said accessible data and information into resource utilization reports on demand such that said reports may be utilized to make resource allocation decisions across said learning services providing entity.
