Abstract:

A technique involves allowing use of content only if the content has been approved for the use. The content can be stored in a universal content format to facilitate cross-platform approval in a single approval transaction. The content can include granular content items incorporated into larger documents. In a specific implementation, it is possible to grant approval for one or more of the granular content items.

International Classification:

G09B003/00

US Classification:

434/322000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for advanced leadership training simulation wherein the simulation teaches skills in leadership and related topics through an Internet-based distance-learning architecture. The distance-learning features link trainees at remote locations into a single collaborative experience via computer networks. Instructional storylines are created and programmed into a computer and then delivered as a simulated but realistic story to one or more participants. The participants' reactions are monitored and compared with expected results. The storyline may be altered in response to the participants' responses, and synthetic characters may be generated to act as automated participants or coaches. Constructive feedback is provided to the participants during or after the simulation.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Systems and methods for translating universal formation presentation content translation according to rules. Universal formation presentation content is generated from source content. Presentation rules for the source content are determined. Specific format presentation content is generated from the universal format presentation content by generating at least one key frame of the specific format presentation content from the universal format presentation content. The at least one key frame of the specific format presentation content is used for presenting content of the at least one key frame. At least one action specifying how a user can interact with the content in the at least one key frame is embedded into the at least one key frame based on the presentation rules of the source content.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0346

US Classification:

345158

Abstract:

A technique involves providing multiple different presentations on a mobile device, and switching between the different presentations depending upon the orientation of the mobile device. For example, a first presentation could include a scripted action, which may include recorded speech or used concurrently with a speaker, and a second presentation that enables free play within a model. When the mobile device is held in a first orientation, the scripted action is used to present a pitch, lesson, or the like. When the mobile device is held in a second orientation, the free play enables a user of the mobile device to illustrate reactions within a model by way of example or in response to questions that can most effectively be answered within a model.
