Abstract

A collaborative learning system and method, which allows a user to create and organize at least one learning path and to find consolidated content on particular subjects is provided. Also provided is a computer-readable storage medium containing a program, which when executed by a computer, performs an operation. The method includes creating one or more study items and storing electronically the one or more study items. The method also includes adding the one or more study items to a learning path, wherein the learning path is electronically stored, and wherein each of the one or more study items has an associated designation. The method further includes arranging the one or more study items within the learning path in a logical order, wherein the learning path incrementally provides information regarding a particular topic as the learning path is traversed.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

creating one or more study items;

storing electronically the one or more study items;

adding the one or more study items to a learning path, wherein the learning path is electronically stored, and wherein each of the one or more study items has an associated designation; and

arranging the one or more study items within the learning path in a logical order, wherein the learning path incrementally provides information regarding a particular topic as the learning path is traversed.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a suggestion of one or more study items to be added to the learning path; and

adding at least one of the suggested one or more study items to the learning path.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the learning path is shareable and editable among a plurality of electronic devices.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining that a study item if of a first designation; and

assigning a skill level in response to determining that the study item is of the first designation.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein creating one or more study items comprises:

assigning target content to the one or more study items; and

providing access to the target contact via the one or or more study items.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

rearranging the one or more study items within the learning path, wherein the designation of one or more study items is automatically changed from a first designation to a second designation if the one or more study items are placed before a study item having a third designation.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

rearranging the one or more study items within the learning path, wherein the designation of one or more study items is automatically changed from a first designation to a second designation if the one or more study items are placed after a study item having a third designation.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory containing a program, which when executed by the processor, is configured to perform an operation, the operation comprising;

creating one or more study items;

storing electronically the one or more study items;

adding the one or more study items to a learning path, wherein the learning path is electronically stored, and wherein each of the one or more study items has an associated designation; and

arranging the one or more study items within the learning path in a logical order, wherein the learning path incrementally provides information regarding a particular topic as the learning path is traversed.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving a suggestion of one or more study items to be added to the learning path; and

adding at least one of the suggested one or more study items to the learning path.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the learning path is shareable and editable among a plurality of electronic devices.

11. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

determining that a study item if of a first designation; and

assigning a skill level in response to determining that the study item is of the first designation.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein creating one or more study items comprises:

assigning target content to the one or more study items; and

providing access to the target contact via the one or more study items.

13. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

rearranging the one or more study items within the learning path, wherein the designation of one or more study items is automatically changed from a first designation to a second designation if the one or more study items are placed before a study item having a third designation.

14. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

rearranging the one or more study items within the learning path, wherein the designation of one or more study items is automatically changed from a first designation to a second designation if the one or more study items are placed after a study item having a third designation.

15. A computer-readable storage medium containing a program, which when executed by the computer performs an operation, the operation comprising:

creating one or more study items;

storing electronically the one or more study items;

adding the one or more study items to a learning path, wherein the learning path is electronically stored, and wherein each of the one or more study items has an associated designation; and

arranging the one or more study items within the learning path in a logical order, wherein the learning path incrementally provides information regarding a particular topic as the learning path is traversed.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving a suggestion of one or more study items to be added to the learning path; and

adding at least one of the suggested one or more study items to the learning path.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the learning path is shareable and editable among a plurality of electronic devices.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising:

determining that a study item if of a first designation; and

assigning a skill level in response to determining that the study item is of the first designation.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein creating one or more study items comprises:

assigning target content to the one or more study items; and

providing access to the target contact via the one or or more study items.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, further comprising:

rearranging the one or more study items within the learning path, wherein the designation of one or more study items is automatically changed from a first designation to a second designation if the one or more study items are placed before a study item having a third designation.
