Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus for remote education. In one aspect, the disclosed method includes the steps of recording, at an instructor device, a lesson plan, the lesson plan including at least one lesson service identifier, associating the lesson plan with at least one student, storing, in a database accessible to an application server, the lesson plan and the at least one student association of the lesson plan, receiving, at a student device associated with the lesson plan, the associated lesson plan, determining a physical location of the student device, identifying a facility service identifier associated with the physical location, comparing the lesson service identifier associated with the lesson to the facility service identifier associated with the physical location, and revising the lesson in accordance with the comparison.

Claims

1. A system for remote education, comprising:

an instructor device configured to record a lesson plan and to associate the lesson plan with at least one student;

a student storing unit in operable communication with the instructor device and configured to store data representing one or more students;

an application server, comprising;

a processor in operable communication with the lesson storing unit, and the student storing unit;

a memory operably associated with the processor and configured to store a set of executable instructions for performing a method of;

receiving a request from a student device;

receiving a location of the student device;

selecting a lesson plan in accordance with the request and location; and

transmitting the selected lesson plan to the student device; and

a student device configured to receive the selected lesson plan and to present the lesson plan to a student.

2. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 1, wherein the lesson plan includes at least one of a video component, an audio component, or a text component.

4. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a geolocation unit in operable communication with the student device and lesson storing unit and configured to store data representing one or more educational facilities.

5. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 4, wherein data relating to one or more educational facilities is selected from the group consisting of a physical location data of a facility, a street address, an intersection, a latitude and longitude, an intersection, and a facility service identifier.

6. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 1, wherein the application server further comprises a translation engine configured to translate text between a source language and a target language.

7. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 1, wherein the data representing one or more lesson plans includes a lesson service identifier.

3. The system for remote education in accordance with claim 3, wherein the components of the lesson plan are temporally synchronized.

8. An apparatus for remote education, comprising:

a processor;

a network interface in operative communication with the processor;

a user interface in operative communication with the processor; and

an app module, comprising;

an identification data unit configured to store identification data of a user of the apparatus;

a presentation unit configured to present a lesson based at least in part upon criteria selected from the group consisting of a student identifier, a lesson schedule, and a location of the apparatus; and

a communication unit configured to transmit and/or receive a lesson from an application server.

9. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 8, wherein the app module further comprises a lesson data unit storing one or more lessons associated with the user of the apparatus.

10. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 8, wherein the app module further comprises a lesson repository unit storing one or more lessons associated with a lesson provider.

11. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 8, wherein the app module further comprises a production unit configured to record a lesson.

12. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 11, wherein the app module further comprises a student data unit configured to store a student identifier in accordance with a recorded lesson.

13. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 11, wherein the production unit further configured to associate an annotation with a lesson.

14. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 13, wherein the annotation is temporally synchronized with the lesson.

15. The apparatus for remote education in accordance with claim 8, further comprising a location unit configured to determine a physical location of the apparatus.

16. A method for remote education, comprising:

recording, at an instructor device, a lesson plan, the lesson plan including at least one lesson service identifier;

associating the lesson plan with at least one student;

storing, in a database accessible to an application server, the lesson plan and the at least one student association of the lesson plan;

receiving, at a student device associated with the lesson plan, the associated lesson plan;

determining a physical location of the student device;

identifying a facility service identifier associated with the physical location;

comparing the lesson service identifier associated with the lesson to the facility service identifier associated with the physical location; and

revising the lesson in accordance with the comparison.

17. The method in accordance with claim 16, further comprising annotating, at the instructor device, the recorded lesson plan.

18. The method in accordance with claim 16, further comprising translating a lesson from a source language to a target language.

19. The method in accordance with claim 16, further comprising presenting, at the student device, the lesson.

20. The method in accordance with claim 16, further comprising:

recording, at the student device, a biological parameter of a student; and

transmitting, to the instructor device, the recorded biological parameter.
