Dynamic state tracking with query serving in an online content platform

Abstract:

Techniques described herein provide a service and associated interface that are capable of serving online queries for learners' states with respect to various types of learning content. For example, the described techniques may serve a query to determine items that have been completed by a particular user, or courses with which a user has recently interacted. More particularly, the described techniques provide a uniform interface for all such learner progress, which facilitates fast and efficient capabilities of users, administrators, and developers with respect to finding, using, and modifying learner progress.
