Methods and systems for improving resource content mapping for an electronic learning system. The methods can include: receiving, by the electronic learning system, a resource for satisfying at least one learning objective of the one or more learning objectives, the resource comprising a content having a content data convertible into a text data and one or more resource property fields defining at least one characteristic of the resource; sectioning the content data into one or more content portions based on an analysis of at least one of the content data and the one or more resource property fields; and assigning at least one content portion of the one or more content portions to at least one learning objective.

A computer-implemented method for modifying one or more contents of an electronic learning system for a user impaired by a colour vision deficiency. The method includes: generating a vision profile for the user, the vision profile indicating at least a type of the colour vision deficiency, identifying, from the one or more contents, a content to be modified, the content including at least two portions formed of a first colour and a second colour, respectively, the first colour being different from the second colour but the first colour being at least partially indistinguishable from the second colour by the user due to the colour vision deficiency, identifying a content transformation to be applied to the content based on the vision profile, the content transformation including one or more adjustments of the content to accommodate the colour vision deficiency impairing the user; and applying the content transformation to the content.

A method and system for course assessment. The method including: receiving assessments from a plurality of assessors for at least one learner; reviewing the assessments for any issues by, for example, an AI agent; if issues are found, returning the assessments for additional review by, for example, an AI agent, if not, continuing; aggregating the assessments by, for example, an AI agent; reviewing the aggregated assessment for any aggregated issues by, for example, an AI agent; if aggregated issues are found, returning the aggregated assessments for additional review by, for example, an AI agent, if not, continuing; and providing the aggregated assessment to the learner. The system makes use of processor and memory to execute instructions to implement the method.

A method and system for providing navigation of multiple organizations of one or more electronic learning systems. The method involves operating a processor to obtain a global user identifier, obtain a navigation object to be displayed at the user computing device, and automatically generate an organization alert indicator for an organization object when the user has an outstanding alert from the electronic learning system of the organization. The navigation object includes a plurality of organization objects. Each of the organization objects correspond to an organization identifier of the plurality of organization identifiers for navigating to an electronic learning system of the organization.

A method and system for providing navigation of multiple organizations of one or more electronic learning systems. The method involves operating a processor to obtain a global user identifier, obtain a navigation object to be displayed at the user computing device, and automatically generate an organization alert indicator for an organization object when the user has an outstanding alert from the electronic learning system of the organization. The navigation object includes a plurality of organization objects. Each of the organization objects correspond to an organization identifier of the plurality of organization identifiers for navigating to an electronic learning system of the organization.

Systems and methods for generating metadata for at least one learning resource are provided. The system includes at least one data storage device storing a plurality of predefined metadata templates, each of the metadata templates having a plurality of metadata fields and a processor in data communication with the at least one data storage device. The processor is configured to receive the at least one learning resource, the at least one learning resource including an electronic file having a learning resource type and content data, select a metadata template from the predefined metadata templates based upon the learning resource type of the at least one learning resource, determine a topic associated with the learning resource, and customize the selected metadata template by adding one or more predefined metadata fields associated with the topic of the learning resource.

Methods and systems for providing a learning path for an electronic learning system. The methods can include: retrieving learning objectives assigned to the learning path; for each learning objective, selecting resources assigned a relevance score satisfying a relevance threshold for that learning objective, the relevance score representing an estimated degree of correlation between that learning objective and the resource, and the relevance threshold indicating a minimum relevance score required for a resource to be selected; generating an initial learning path using the selected resources; identifying evaluation type resources which include an interaction for evaluating a proficiency of a user in relation to a subset of learning objectives; monitoring a feedback usage indicator for each evaluation type resource, the feedback usage indicator representing an amount of user interactions with that evaluation type resource; and updating the initial learning path to generate the learning path based on the feedback usage indicator.

An electronic learning system for generating at least one visualization in relation to a plurality of learners. The system includes at least one data storage device storing learner data and class data, the learner data having a plurality of performance aspects associated with each learner and class data being associated with the plurality of learners, and at least one processor in data communication with the at least one data storage device.
