Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to the field of automated means for verifying the readiness of educational materials with the possibility of verifying the readiness of educational materials for the educational process, including for conducting training and monitoring knowledge, and can be used in professional fields, as well as in auxiliary technical means of professional fields, in which or ongoing updating of knowledge is carried out, including the formation and amendment of regulatory documents directly used by rsonalom in professional activities. The invention can be used, in particular, to ensure flight safety during training and retraining of flight personnel and support staff. The invention can be used in the preparation of training programs, improvement of existing programs, as well as in the preparation of manuals and test materials.

BACKGROUND

There is a method for improving the qualifications of flight personnel, described in the application of the Russian Federation 97101416, published 02/20/1999, describing the use of a training model that takes into account the personal experience of trained personnel. The known method is not universal and can be used only for psychological correction of personnel behavior, if necessary.

In the patent of the Russian Federation 2158965, published 10.11.2000, describes a method of forming a training program, which is the closest analogue of the invention, using the calculation analysis of the curriculum using a matrix of concepts. When implementing the known method, a list of conventional units of knowledge is formed and fixed, which are used as concepts contained in the initial training program, the significance of each concept in the list is estimated by establishing its relationship with other concepts, and then an updated list of concepts is formed, which include the most significant of them, and on the basis of an updated list form the optimal training program.

The known method is intended to form a training program that is optimal from the point of view of assimilation of educational material and is not intended for operational changes to the content of educational material. This circumstance is not a significant drawback in many industries using the known method, since the goal of most curricula is to teach students basic knowledge and skills needed for further independent work. When using the method for continuous improvement of knowledge and skills of persons responsible for flight safety, the impossibility of prompt automated updating of training programs is a significant drawback.

Another problem of the prior art is the difficulty of forming relationships between distributed entities, during which, with subjective adjustment of documents, important sections of the educational program may be missed.

The present invention allows to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art, as well as realize the advantages shown in the description.

The task to which the proposed method is directed is to eliminate the disadvantages of the methods known from the prior art with the technical result consisting in improving flight safety due to the possibility of taking into account all the important information and parameters of the curriculum in the preparation of training materials, as well as in reducing time and labor costs for updating educational, certification and examination programs that take into account dynamic changes in regulatory documents and perativno taking into account both positive and negative experience of the personnel who have direct or indirect relation to safety.

The invention allows you to change the parameters of training programs in an automated mode without significant staff involvement, which significantly reduces the material costs of creating and maintaining jobs, and also reduces the cost of computing power for tracking and making changes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To achieve the above technical result, a method is proposed for automatically generating a training course containing basic independent sections, which consists in the following: a) mandatory basic elements are set for each of the basic independent sections, b) a list of curriculum entities corresponding to that required for the curriculum is formed programs of a set of concepts and representations, c) for the curriculum entities, sequentially, in each of the independent sections, form an element corresponding to the corresponding the essential nature of the curriculum, d) combine the elements of sections into educational blocks within independent sections, e) check for the presence of required basic elements in each of the sections, e) if all the required basic educational elements in each section complete the automated formation of the training course, and when lack of basic educational elements: g) supplement the list of curriculum entities with additional entities corresponding to missing basic educational elements, h) supplement the independent sections with elements corresponding to additional entities, after which they re-check the presence of required basic elements in each section and perform operation e).

In one particular implementation, after operation b), they additionally check the presence of entities in the list of entities corresponding to the basic elements, and in the absence of the specified entities, supplement the list of entities with entities corresponding to the basic elements for which entities are not in the list.

In one of the private options for implementation, upon completion of the automated formation of the training course, elements are ordered within independent sections.

In one of the private options for implementation, the basic elements of previously formed training courses are used, and as a list of curriculum entities, updates are used in the set of concepts and representations required for the curriculum based on the purpose of the training courses.

In one of the private embodiments, the correspondence of the basic elements of previously formed training courses to the elements from the list of entities is checked and, if there is a mismatch, the basic elements are replaced by the basic elements corresponding to the list of entities.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The objects and features of the present invention, methods for achieving these objects and features will become apparent by reference to exemplary embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed below, it can be embodied in various forms. The essence described in the description is nothing more than the specific details provided to assist the specialist in the field of technology in a comprehensive understanding of the invention, and the present invention is defined only in the scope of the attached claims.

 Used in the present description of the invention, the terms "module", "component", "element", "part", "block", "component" and the like are used to refer to computer entities, which can be hardware, for example, a device or part of a device in particular, including at least one processor, microcontroller, etc., or software, for example, a computer program, firmware, or another set of control instructions that allow the hardware to calculate A simulation system performs calculations or control functions that are a combination of instructions and data.

Under the curriculum in the present description is meant a complex of educational, methodological and test materials that determine the content, volume, as well as the procedure for studying and teaching a discipline or its section.

The described invention, which can be implemented by a hardware-software complex of an automated information system for the professional training of flight personnel (AIC AIS PPLS), allows you to automatically perform a number of processes for the professional training and certification of flight personnel, including remote access. In the particular case, the proposed invention can be implemented by means of the aforementioned system, the architecture of which can include, for example, three blocks (modules): Learning Portal, Unified Data Warehouse, and Virtual Classroom. The “Training Portal” module allows for automatic training of a user, for example, a student (trained and certified pilot), in particular, flight personnel, including distance learning pilots via the Internet; self-testing and passing exams, collecting statistics on training and exams, monitoring the timely confirmation of the validity of flight certificates. The Unified Data Warehouse module (data warehouse, data storage module) allows automated loading, recognition and comparison of documents used (and necessary) for the formation of a training course and training of flight personnel, creation of questions with reference to them through links to regulatory flight documentation, courses and disciplines, the formation and updating of the training course, including training and exam content, accounting for changes in the formation of the training course, updating documents and the question s, planning classes and exams. In a particular case, the "Unified Data Warehouse" is available to a limited circle of users, for example, the Methodist (pilot-instructor for training), including on the internal network (via the Intranet). The Virtual Classroom module allows conducting webinars, distance group training and individual lessons with teachers (students and methodologists) and, in a particular case, is available for registered users on the Internet and Intranet. The mentioned system can be integrated with other information systems, including corporate ones, and exchange data with the personnel department of the enterprise, flight planning service, accounting, etc.

To implement the invention, assignment of compulsory educational sections is carried out. After updating the regulatory documents, training materials are checked and the disclosure of compulsory training sections in training materials ready for use is determined. A list of training materials for which editing is required in the “manual mode”, as well as materials that are not necessary but cannot be used without additional editing, is being prepared, and after editing, re-checking is carried out. The mentioned materials are either sent for reprocessing, or the system means signal that the materials are ready for the educational process.

The described invention can be used for professional training and certification of knowledge of flight personnel of airlines, professional training of specialists of any other profile, in industries where the receipt and use of dynamically changing information (content) is an important part of activities that significantly affect the safety of work.

The content of educational materials (UM) and examination questions (EV) created in electronic form for an automated information system for the professional training of flight personnel has a multi-level structure. The structure of training and examination content can include four levels of various scales. The lowest, the first level of electronic content UM / EV, is the original authoring development of training materials that make up the content of individual topics of classes intended for the professional training and certification of the flight personnel of the airline. Author's training materials include various forms of presenting information: electronic texts written by methodological pilots, fragments of textbooks, diagrams, drawings, tables, presentations, videos, links to normative-flying documents. To test the quality of knowledge assimilation by pilots, a set of exam questions has been developed in electronic form. In order to speed up the process of preparing pilots for exams, which are required to pass for annual confirmation of flight qualifications, each examination question is linked to a specific training material through an electronic link. This can significantly reduce the search time for the right pages from textbooks, the necessary videos or quotes from the normative-flight documentation in preparation for the exam. Using the links provided, the pilot is given the opportunity to quickly refresh in his memory only (or at least) the training material that is necessary for passing the exam and confirming the flight qualification. Higher - the second level of electronic content is the combination of individual topics in the content of various academic disciplines. A set of disciplines is also an original authoring set made for a particular airline. The third level of electronic content is the construction on the basis of a set of academic disciplines of the original “tree” of the training course, in which the training and examinations are carried out by airline pilots. A set of educational disciplines is made up of the trunk of the tree, and educational materials and related issues are located in the nodes of the tree. The highest - the fourth level - is a combined "tree" of courses, covering all the necessary training and examination content, which the pilot must know to confirm the flight qualifications. Such a constructed “tree” of courses meets the basic requirements for the training of flight personnel, which are set forth in the Federal Aviation Rules (FAP).

In FIG. 1 - FIG. 4 shows diagrams of exemplary variants of automated processes associated with the formation of a document library.

Shown in FIG. 1 - FIG. 4, the first group of automated processes relates to the formation of a library of documents, the content of which may change over time. The content of each of the documents can be structured and converted to XML format. Documents are grouped by classifiers, and the established document classes are attached to the table of contents nodes in the document library. When a new or changed version of a document appears, a new version of the document is loaded into the same table of contents node. For the old and new versions of the document, a comparison is made, a protocol of comparison results is formed, which contains a list of DUs (from the English document units or parts of documents) in which the differences between the old and new versions are recorded.

The differences resulting from the comparison can be marked in accordance with their nature. For example, when marking with flowers, “deleted” is marked with blue color, “added” with green color, “changed” with red color. Training materials and exam questions that are marked “deleted” are marked as conditionally blocked and cannot be used further. So, for example, such training materials, in particular, which are the essence of the curriculum, and exam questions cannot be put up for examination by students. In the particular case, the materials can be used after the formation of a training course containing basic independent sections, and their adjustments, including after replacing fragments and, as described in the framework of the present invention. For other materials, links used in documents are replaced with links related to new or current versions of documents in which at least fragments are replaced in order to update new information, for example, if an outdated version of the document can be useful from the point of view of construction logic educational processes. So, in the absence of basic educational elements defined for basic independent sections of the generated training course, the list of curriculum entities, in particular, the curriculum, is supplemented with additional curriculum entities corresponding to the missing basic educational elements, and the curriculum entities correspond to those required for the curriculum totality of concepts and representations. Also, the independent sections are supplemented with elements corresponding to additional entities. The formed training course, as well as, in the particular case, verified and approved training materials, including basic elements, and questions can be used, at least in the educational process or in the process of staff development. Mentioned materials may be published on the Training Portal, and publication may be immediate or may be delayed by a predetermined time, for example, as shown in FIG. 8. A fixed time may also be set for such publications.

So, in FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of an automated process for loading a document into a library (“Uploading a document to a library”).

At step 102, the process of loading the document begins.

At step 104, a document download selection is made, in particular, a new document download or a new version download is selected.

At step 106, a document type is selected.

If the Airbus document type (108) was selected in step 106, then the Airbus format is loaded in step 110. Next, at step 112, the documents are copied. Then, at step 114, the Airbus presentation is copied, after which, at step 116, the images are converted, and the document loading process ends at step 160.

If the Boeing document type (118) was selected in step 106, then the Boeing format is loaded in step 120. Next, at step 122, the copying of documents. Then, at step 124, the Boeing presentation is copied and the document loading process ends at step 160.

If at the step 106 the RPP document type (128) was selected, then at step 130, a division into chapters and topics is performed (file), after which, at step 132, the XML representation is constructed (file). Next, at step 134, a topic table of contents is constructed (file-based), and the document loading process ends at step 160.

If you selected the document type RRJ (138) in step 106, then in step 140, you are divided into chapters and pages (file). Then, at step 142, the XML representation is constructed (file-based), after which, at step 144, the page table of contents is built (file-based), and the document loading process ends at step 160.

If you selected a PDF document type with bookmarks in step 106 (148), then in step 150, you are divided into topics depending on the bookmarks in the document (file formatting). Next, at step 152, the XML representation is constructed (file-based), after which, at step 154, the bookmark table of contents is built (file-based), and the document loading process ends at step 160.

In FIG. 2 shows a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of an automated process for downloading a new version of a document (“Downloading a New Version of a Document”).

At step 203, the process of downloading a new version of the document begins.

Next, at step 205, the document is filed, and then at step 207, the PDF view is loaded, and then at step 209, the XML view is loaded.

At step 211, a comparison is made depending on the type of document, in particular, the type of document can be selected, for example, PDF with bookmarks (221), or the model of the aircraft to which the document belongs, for example, Airbus (213), Boeing (215), RPP (217), RRJ (219), or. In the case of a bookmarked document, a type can be defined for each bookmark, for example, an aircraft model.

At step 223, the comparison protocol is published.

Next, at step 225, the comparison results are saved to the database and at step 227, the comparison is completed.

The mentioned comparison results, as well as other data, including documents replacing fragments, that is, fragments for which updating of new information is required, basic independent sections, basic elements, a list of curriculum entities, a set of concepts and representations of the curriculum, Elements corresponding to the corresponding entities of the curriculum, etc., can be stored on a physical data warehouse, logically organized and ordered in a database (DB). Said data storage may be a temporary data storage device, for example, Random Access Memory (RAM), permanent data storage device, for example, (Programmable) Permanent Memory (ROM / ROM), including, implemented by at least one microcircuit or chipset, etc. In the particular case, the data warehouse is a device for storing information / data and can be implemented with at least one hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD, English . solid-state drive), a hybrid hard drive (SSHD, English solid-state hybrid drive), a storage area network (SHAN / SAN, the English Storage Area Network), a network storage system / network storage (NAS, the English Network Attached Storage) and / or any other device or set of devices that allows at least storage accessing the device, reading from the device and / or storing data on the device. Data in data warehouses can be stored in any known data format, for example, in the form of at least one table or a set of related or unrelated database tables.

In FIG. Figure 3 shows a diagram of an exemplary version of an automated process for comparing document versions and processing comparison results (“Comparing document versions and processing comparison results”).

At step 305, the process of processing the comparison results begins.

At step 310, an analysis is made of the previously compiled comparison results protocol.

At step 315, a mapping of differences for specific DUs is generated.

At step 345, the list of materials affected by the changes is processed.

Next, at step 350, each of the materials affected by the changes is checked.

If at step 350 it is determined that the changes concern links or parts of the library (“link / part of the library”), then at step 355, the presence in the new document is checked. If the presence in the new document is established in step 355, then in step 360 the link is replaced and in step 370 the processing ends. Otherwise, if at step 350 it is established that the changes concern the entire document to be changed, that is, they are an asset (from the English Asset - entity), then at step 365 the document is locked, the document is excluded from the training program and at step 370 the processing ends. Also, if at step 355 it is determined that no changes have been made to the new document, then at step 365 the document is locked, the document is excluded from the curriculum, and processing stops at step 370.

If the changes relate to links or parts of the library representing the document, and the changes can be made to the new document and are present in the new document, then step 360 is performed and at step 370 the processing ends.

At step 320, a list of issues affected by the changes is processed.

Next, at step 325, a check is made for the type of change, that is, it is determined whether the change relates to the change (s) or to deletion.

If at step 325 it was determined that the change relates to deletion, then at step 340 the previously valid question (or other content of the document) is blocked and at step 370 the processing ends.

If at step 325 it is determined that a modification has been made, then at step 330 it is checked whether the essence of the issue is affected.

If at step 330 it is established that the essence of the question is not affected, then at step 335 the prompt changes and at step 370 the processing ends.

If at step 330 it is established that the essence of the question is affected, then at step 340 the question is blocked and at step 370 the processing ends.

In FIG. 4 shows a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of an automated process for updating the comparison results produced in accordance with the method disclosed in FIG. 3. So, in FIG. Figure 4 shows the process of processing documents, including the contents of documents with the modification (adjustment) of the content, including at least the replacement of fragments of content and information associated with such content (and documents). The mentioned fragments, in particular, replaced fragments, that is, fragments in relation to which updating of the new information is required, are replaced by replacement fragments, i.e. fragments with updated information, and such fragments may be the results of comparison, including at least one part comparison results.

The process of updating the results of the comparison begins at step 405. The mentioned process of updating is the process of replacing some, replaceable, fragments with other, replacing, fragments, and, in the particular case, is the process of forming a training course, in particular, an updated training course, in which, in the absence of basic educational elements, the list of curriculum entities is supplemented with additional entities corresponding to the missing basic educational elements, and additional updating of independent sections with elements corresponding to additional entities, with the implementation of repeated verification of the presence of mandatory basic elements in each section.

At step 462, processing of the list of blocked documents begins, and then at step 465, a check is made to see if the replacement is only a replacement for the link or the replacement concerns the essence of the document, that is, it is an asset. If the replacement is a replacement of the link (if the “link”), then at step 475 the link is replaced, and the update process proceeds to step 435. Otherwise, if the replacement relates to the nature of the document (is “Asset”), then at step 470, editing , and the update process proceeds to step 435 and then the process of publication in the portal in step 435 proceeds.

Next, at step 440, it is checked whether there is a need for immediate publication or delayed publication.

If at step 440 it is determined that immediate publication is required, then at step 450 immediate publication is carried out, and the update process ends at step 490.

If at step 440 it is determined that a delayed publication is not required, but a delayed publication is required, then at step 445 the publication is from a certain date, and the update process ends at step 490.

At step 410, the list of blocked questions is processed, after which at step 415 violations of the algorithm for exam formation, if any, are detected. Violations of the exam formation algorithm may be an insufficient number of questions, lack of questions that are key to the training course, or lack of the required number of questions in exam tickets.

If at step 415 a violation of the exam formation algorithm was detected, then at step 420 a question is modified or replaced. Next, the update process proceeds to step 425, in which the question is unlocked if the request is modified, or to step 460, in which, if the question is replaced, the question is excluded from the test, after which the update process proceeds to step 430, where the replacement prompts for a new one.

If at step 415 there was no violation of the exam formation algorithm, then at step 455 it is determined (for example, by the methodologist and / or the means of the described system) whether to unblock the question or exclude the question from the test ones and, depending on the methodologist’s decision, the process proceeds to step 425 if the methodologist decided to unblock the question, or to step 460, if the methodologist decided to exclude the question from the test, after which the process proceeds to step 430.

Next, the transition to the publication process in the portal at step 435.

In FIG. 5 - FIG. 7 shows diagrams of exemplary embodiments of automated processes associated with the formation of a content tree.

Shown in FIG. 5 - FIG. 7, the second group of automated processes is associated with the formation of a content tree: a tree structure is constructed that reflects the content of training courses, the main content of the tree is formed at its end nodes, a set of questions and a set of training materials (both standardized in the form of ready-made documents, are attached to each end node of the tree) and non-standard, i.e. created by the author in the form of assets), when forming the tree structure, a number of functions are provided (adding a new node, replacing the node name, deleting the node, moving the node about the tree structure), exam questions are linked to each tree node through DU documents in the library, there is a function for viewing questions tied to the tree node, the function of creating a new training course and a new exam, which are collected on a separate buffer portal, is implemented.

So, in FIG. 5 is a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of an automated process for generating a content tree (“Generating a Content Tree”).

The process of creating a content tree begins at step 505.

At step 510, the structure is formed.

At step 515, questions are assigned to the node.

For new questions (530), at step 535, questions are created in the ECD database.

Next, the content tree generation process proceeds to step 540, in which communication with the DU is carried out.

For existing questions (520), at step 525, the questions are imported from the portal, and the process of generating the content tree proceeds to step 540.

Next, at step 545, a DU is selected from the document structure, and at step 596, the content tree generation process ends.

At step 560, the materials are bound to the assembly, after which, at step 565, the type of material is determined.

If it was determined at step 565 that the type of material is the author file (590), then at step 592 a document is selected from the library. Next, at step 589, the materials are stored in the repository, and at step 596, the process of generating the content tree ends.

If it was determined at step 565 that the type of material is an asset (580), then at step 582 the editor of assets is called up, after which at step 584 a document is selected from the library. Next, at step 586, a DU is selected from the document structure. At step 588, the author makes changes, and at step 589, the materials are stored in the repository, and at step 596, the process of generating the content tree ends.

If it was determined at step 565 that the type of material is a library link (570), then the process of generating the content tree proceeds to step 572.

At step 572, a document is selected from the library, after which at step 574 a link node is selected, and then at step 576, training content is generated.

Next, at step 589, the materials are stored in the repository, and at step 596, the process of generating the content tree ends.

In FIG. Figure 6 shows a diagram of an exemplary version of an automated process for the formation of a training course ("Formation of a training course").

The process of creating a training course begins at step 605.

At step 610, a course structure is created on the portal, after which at step 615 a node is selected from the content tree.

At step 620, the test questions are downloaded, and at step 625, the list of questions associated with the tree node is loaded.

At step 630, a selection of questions for publication is carried out, after which at step 635 a course and section in the course is selected.

Next, at step 640, the question is published in the buffer portal, after which the process of creating the training course proceeds to step 670, where the list of changes for updating (new information, information) is generated with the replacement of fragments on the industrial portal, and at step 675, the publication to the industrial portal at the scheduled time, after which at step 680 the process of forming the training course ends.

At step 645, the training materials are downloaded, and then at step 650, the list of materials associated with the tree node is loaded.

Next, at step 655, the materials for publication are selected and at step 660, the course and section in the course are selected.

Next, at step 665, the materials are published in the buffer portal, after which the process proceeds to step 670.

In FIG. 7 shows an exemplary diagram of an automated exam formation process.

The exam formation process begins at step 705.

At step 715, if a new exam is formed (710), an examination course is created in the study program (individual provisions of the subject)

Next, at step 720, categories of test questions are determined.

Next, for each of the selected categories (725), at step 730, a random number of questions from this category are selected and blocked questions are checked at step 735, and if there are no blocked questions, the number of questions is redefined at step 740, after which the examination is completed ( not shown in the diagram), otherwise the presence of blocked questions, the process ends at step 775.

At step 750, if the examination structure is corrected (745), violations of the norm of questions are checked.

Further, for categories in which the norm (755) is violated, at step 760, an alternative is made - whether it is necessary to change the number of questions or reformulate the structure of the exam. If at step 760 it was found that it was necessary to reformat the exam structure, then at step 770 the exam structure was reorganized and the process ends at step 775. If at step 760 it was determined that the number of questions needed to be changed, then at step 765 the number of questions was changed, after which process ends at step 775.

In FIG. 8 - FIG. 10 shows diagrams of example variants of automated processes associated with updating dynamic learning / exam content.

Shown in FIG. 8 - FIG. 10 the third group of automated processes is associated with updating dynamic teaching / exam content: an update table is formed, which includes two types of updates (for questions and educational materials), a list of necessary updates of the source is generated in the dashboard program, if there are potentially blocked questions, the possibility is checked form an exam (for this, all blocked questions are collected in a separate category called “bloked questions” and the methodologist has the opportunity to edit them or re-link the questions in order to maintain the “norm of questions” for the exam), news is automatically generated containing information about the document being updated and, in particular, fragments that have been replaced (or requiring replacement, but have not been replaced), and it versions, the publication of updates on the industrial portal is carried out by a robot program, which starts at the next technical break (at the set time), and information about changes in documents is carried out through the news feed with the possibility of awn detailed view of all the proposed substitutions in the preview mode, sends out alerts to users.

So, in FIG. 8 shows an exemplary diagram of an automated process for updating training / exam content (“Updating Training / Exam Content”).

The upgrade process starts at step 805.

At step 810, data associated with the version of the document is updated.

At step 815, questions and materials are updated at the initiative of the methodologist.

Next, at step 820, a list of updates is generated, and then at step 825, at least one list of news for publication is generated, which (lists) are processed at step 830.

At step 835, a check is made for the need for an immediate or delayed update, depending on the importance of the updates. For example, updates (in particular, containing up-to-date information, information) generated by the analysis of emergencies require immediate updating (in particular, by replacing replaced fragments, for which updating of new information is required by replacing fragments with updated information), other updates may be added as documents are processed.

If it is necessary to immediately update (and / or the impossibility of a delayed update), at step 860, publication is made in the buffer portal.

Next, at step 865, links are formed for previewing updates from the industrial portal, after which, at step 870, the news is published with a preview of the updates, and the update process ends at step 875.

If a delayed update is possible (or necessary), at step 840 a publication is made in the buffer portal.

Next, at step 845, an application for publication in the industrial portal is generated in the next technical break, after which at step 850 the news on updating the content is published.

Next, at step 855, messages are sent to users subscribed to the courses, and the update process ends at step 875.

In FIG. Figure 9 shows an exemplary diagram of an automated process for processing blocked questions (“Processing blocked questions”).

The process of processing blocked questions begins at step 905 and at step 910, a bank of blocked questions is created (category "Blocked Questions") by blocking questions when updating content in step 915 and blocking questions by the methodologist at step 920.

Next, at step 925, a check is made to correct or delete the question, if it is a correction, then at step 930 the blocked questions are edited (the standard procedure for editing and linking a question), after which, at step 935, the question is edited (returning the question to the original category for use in educational content). Next, at step 940, an application for publishing updated content is generated. Otherwise, if it is deletion, then at step 945 the question is permanently deleted from the question base.

In FIG. 10 shows a diagram of an exemplary version of the automated process of the automated subsystem - a robot for publishing updates to training materials and questions with the subsequent formation of a news feed about updating content and its launch.

The process of processing the queue of applications for updating content begins at step 1010 and at step 1020, a check is performed for current updates and deferred updating.

In the case of a delayed update, at step 1070, a publication is made for preview, after which at step 1080 news is generated and the news feed is updated with information about educational content updates.

In the case of current updates, at step 1030, an exams block is checked and confirmed, after which at step 1040 a fact of publication is checked for preview. If it was not published for preview, then at step 1060, updates of training materials and test questions are published, after which, at step 1080, news is generated and the news feed is updated with information about educational content updates. Otherwise, if it was published for preview, then at step 1050 the links for preview are deleted and the training materials and test questions are updated (in particular, with the replacement of fragments), after which, at step 1080, news is generated and the news feed is updated with information about educational content updates.

In FIG. 11 shows a simplified example of a hardware implementation of the proposed invention. A computer network can be a geographically distributed set of nodes connected by communication lines and segments for transferring data between end nodes, such as personal computers, workstations, or peripheral devices, such as printers or scanners.

As shown in FIG. 11, an exemplary computer network 1100 may comprise a plurality of network devices, such as routers, switches, computers, and the like, connected by communication links. For example, multiple network devices may connect one or more user devices (“client devices”) 1110 that may be used by a user, such as computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. Communication channels connecting various network devices may be wired lines or common media (e.g., wireless lines) where certain devices can communicate with other devices based on distance, signal strength, current operating status, location, etc. Communication channels can connect various network devices in any possible configuration. One or more servers 1120 (eg, host servers, web servers, databases, etc.) may communicate with a network 1100 and thus with a plurality of client devices 1110. Those skilled in the art will understand that in a computer network, any number and arrangement of nodes, devices, communication lines, etc. can be used, and the illustration shown in FIG. 11 is a simplified example of a hardware implementation of a system.

In FIG. 12 shows an example of a computing system suitable for implementing the elements of the proposed invention. As shown in FIG. 12, the computing system comprises a computing device 1200 that can be used as a user or server device, in memory 1240 of which the operating system 1242, computer programs 1244, and data structures 1245 are stored. The memory 1240 of device 1200 is connected via bus 1250 to power supply 1260, at least at least one processor 1220 and at least one network interface 1210, transmitting data to the network 1100 (FIG. 11) and from the network 1100 (FIG. 11).

In FIG. 13 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of a method of carrying out the present invention according to an independent claim.

At step 1310, for each of the basic independent sections, the required basic elements are set.

So, the formation of the parameters of the mandatory structure of the training course can be carried out, which determines the sequence of providing users with training materials, the sequence of tests and mandatory provisions of the sections of the training course. The sequence of training materials and the sequence of tests may contain general descriptions of the elements of the sequence, and each of the sections of the training course - an information module and a test module.

At step 1320, a list of curriculum entities corresponding to the totality of concepts and representations required for the curriculum is formed.

In the particular case, after the operation of step 1320 is performed, the presence of entities in the list of entities corresponding to the basic elements is additionally checked, and in the absence of the specified entities, the entity list is supplemented with entities corresponding to the basic elements for which the entities are not in the list.

In a particular case, the basic elements of previously formed training courses are used, and as a list of curriculum entities, updates are used in the set of concepts and representations required for the curriculum, based on the purpose of the training courses.

In the particular case, the compliance of the basic elements of previously formed training courses with the elements from the list of entities is checked and, if there is a mismatch, the basic elements are replaced with the basic elements corresponding to the list of entities.

So, a set of information blocks can be formed, presented in an arbitrary format, representing the content of the training course.

At step 1330, for the curriculum entities, in succession, in each of the independent sections, an element is formed that corresponds to the corresponding curriculum essence.

In the particular case, the selection from the information blocks of fragments having completed semantic content can be carried out.

In the particular case, fragments can be identified whose semantic content corresponds to the general descriptions of the elements of the sequence.

At step 1340, the elements of the sections are combined into educational blocks within independent sections.

In the particular case, fragments can be grouped into sections in accordance with the relevant mandatory provisions of the sections of the mandatory structure.

At step 1350, the presence of required basic elements in each section is checked.

At step 1360, if each of the sections contains all the required basic educational elements, the completion of the automated formation of the training course is carried out, and in the absence of basic educational elements:

at step 1370, the list of curriculum entities is supplemented with additional entities corresponding to the missing basic educational elements;

at step 1380, independent sections are supplemented with elements corresponding to additional entities, after which the presence of required basic elements in each section is repeated and step 1360 is performed.

In the particular case, at the completion of the automated formation of the training course, the ordering of elements within independent sections is carried out.

So, the ordering of fragments within sections can be carried out in accordance with the sequences of the mandatory structure of the training course.

In the particular case, inside the blocks, the form for representing the fragments is converted in accordance with a predefined format for representing fragments of the block.

In the particular case, the calendar terms for the use of fragments of various modules are coordinated so that the overall sequence of use of fragments corresponds to the sequence of provision of training materials and the sequence of tests of the required structure.

In the particular case, it is checked that the modules contain fragments that correspond to all general descriptions of the elements of the sequence for the provision of training materials and the sequence of tests, and, if necessary, supplement the set of information blocks with additional information blocks. Also, additional information blocks can be generated based on the results of a search query containing a general description of the element and a description of at least one block of the training course.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the information provided in the description are examples that do not limit the scope of the present invention defined by the claims. One skilled in the art will recognize that other embodiments of the present invention may exist consistent with the spirit and scope of the present invention.
