Decision construct for configuring a networked computing environment
First Claim
1. A decision construct for configuring a networked computing environment, comprising:
- a first command for designating permission levels and associating users with each of the permission levels;
a second command for associating decision cells, affecting functional capabilities of the networked computing environment, with each of the permission levels; and
a third command allowing input of decisions into decision cells by the user, wherein the user decisions control the operation of the networked computing environment.

Abstract
A decision construct provides a system and method of configuring/managing/controlling a networked computing environment, such as a learning technology/platform. The construct provides one or more permission levels associated with one or more users of the system, such as independent permission levels for a provost, a dean, a department chair, a course director, and a faculty member, wherein the permission levels allow differentiation amongst the users of the system as to various decisions that are made to configure the networked computing environment. The decisions are made by the user through interaction with decision cells that the user(s) is allowed access to based on their associated permission level. The access and decisions that the user is allowed to make affect various component features, such as the display and functional capabilities, of the networked computing environment. The number and types of permission levels and decision cells made available to the different permission levels is a feature determined through the construct and allows for the customization of permission levels and thereby the customization of the configuration of the networked computing environment.
