Learning application ranking in a modular learning system

摘要

An apparatus and method are disclosed for ranking learning application authors in a modular learning system. Learning applications are stored in the modular learning system and include metadata defining performance metrics. The modular learning system also stores purchase data. Each authoring user is associated with a learning application and purchase measurements. Performance measurements based on the performance metrics are additionally stored in the modular learning system with each performance measurement associated with a learning user and a learning application. The modular learning system receives a ranking request from a ranking requestor designating a set of authoring users to be ranked. After selecting the performance measurements associated with the learning applications in the designated set the modular learning system ranks the authoring users based on the performance measurements and the purchase measurements and provides the ranking to the ranking requestor.
