Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for updating learner identity items in a modular learning system. Identity items associated with a plurality of learning users are stored in the modular learning system. The modular learning system updates identity items associated with a learning user responsive to receiving a request to update the identity items. When the modular learning system receives a request to display the updated identity items to a user of an external system, the modular learning system exports the requested identity items to the external system.

Claims

1. A method for updating learner identity items in a modular learning system comprising:

maintaining a learning user database in electronic communication with an external system, the learning user database including a plurality of learning users, wherein each learning user is associated with identity items;

receiving a learner identity items update request from a learning user,

receiving update credentials from the learning user;

authorizing the learning user based on update credentials;

displaying an interface for inputting the revised identity items to the learning user; and

updating the learner identity items associated with the learning user in the learning user database with the revised identity items.

2. The method for updating learner identity items of claim 1, wherein

the learner identity items update request specifies revised identity items associated with the learning user.

3. The method for updating learner identity items of claim 1, further comprising steps of:

receiving a learner identity display request from a user of the external system designating the learning user in the plurality of learning users; and

exporting the identity items associated with a designated learning user to the external system.

4. The method for updating learner identity items of claim 1, wherein the revised identity items are professional identity items, academic identity items and learning identity items associated with the learning user.

5. An apparatus for updating learner identity items in a modular learning system comprising:

a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory medium;

a non-volatile memory including;

instructions for execution on the processor, the instructions executable to perform steps comprising;

maintaining a learning user database in electronic communication with an external system, the learning user database including a plurality of learning users, wherein each learning user is associated with identity items;

receiving a learner identity items update request from a learning user, the learner identity items update request specifying revised identity items associated with the learning user;

replacing identity items associated with the learning user in the learning user database with the revised identity items;

receiving a learner identity display request from a user of the external system designating a learning user in the plurality of learning users; and

exporting identity items associated with the designated learning user to the external system.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the learner identity items update request specifies revised identity items associated with the learning user

7. The apparatus of claim 5 further performing steps of, receiving a learner identity display request from a user of the external system designating the learning user in the plurality of learning users;

and

exporting the identity items associated with a designated learning user to the external system.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the revised identity items are professional identity items, academic identity items and learning identity items associated with the learning user.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions executable by a processor for performing a method for updating learner identity items in a modular learning system comprising steps of:

maintaining a learning user database in electronic communication with an external system, the learning user database including a plurality of learning users, wherein each learning user is associated with identity items;

receiving a learner identity items update request from a learning user;

receiving update credentials from the learning user;

authorizing the learning user based on update credentials;

displaying an interface for inputting the revised identity items to the learning user; and

updating the learner identity items associated with the learning user in the learning user database with the revised identity items

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein the learner identity items update request specifies revised identity items associated with the learning user.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9,

further performing steps of:

receiving a learner identity display request from a user of the external system designating the learning user in the plurality of learning users; and

exporting the identity items associated with a designated learning user to the external system.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein

the revised identity items are professional identity items, academic identity items and learning identity items associated with the learning user.
