  Multiplatform voice over ip learning deployment methodologyUSPTO Application #: 20060051730Title: Multiplatform voice over ip learning deployment methodology Abstract: Disclosed are a learning system and method for auditory learners. The system comprises recording means for capturing, digitizing, storing, and indexing voice statements; and means for allowing an auditory learner to search said indexing for desirable voice statements. The learning system further comprises means for playing on demand and broadcasting said desired voice statements to said auditory learner; means for creating an auditory live session for said learner; and means for mining said voice statements for emerging subject matter and to create new voice statements for playing on demand to said learner. The preferred embodiment of the invention is a new deployment vehicle for informal learning cultivated within a Community of Practice and broadcast over IP. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention generally relates to learning systems, and more specifically, the invention relates to a system for auditory learners. Even more specifically, the invention, in its preferred form, relates to a multiplatform voice over IP learning deployment methodology to disseminate community-based informal learning for auditory learners. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] Communities of practice are not being tapped for emerging knowledge early in the knowledge lifecycle. In the present learning development model, development of learning opportunities does not occur until later in the knowledge lifecycle, when they become expensive to produce, deploy, and maintain (often beyond their lifespan). [0005] Communities of practice provide a natural opportunity to develop and disseminate informal knowledge. Only about 20% of formal learning relates to what people do on their jobs; yet about 80% of learning dollars are spent on this formal knowledge design and delivery. An area called informal learning is ripe for investigation for new learning deployments. [0006] Currently, voice over IP is being used for knowledge dissemination at the Knowledge level of Bloom's taxonomy, but only to carry the verbal portion of web casts that are accompanied by presentations. Using the framework of learning motivation strategies, auditory learning styles theory, cognitive multi-tasking learning ability theory, on demand technologies, and cost effectiveness, voice over IP can be positioned as an effective vehicle to carry learning to the comprehension, application, analysis, syntheses and evaluation levels of learning. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] An object of this invention is to improve systems and procedures for auditory learning. [0008] Another object of the invention is to provide a learning model based on existing or open source technology which is upheld by instructional design methodologies that support auditory learning. [0009] A further object of the present invention is to provide a deployment vehicle for informal learning cultivated within a Community of Practice and broadcast over IP. [0010] These and other objectives are attained with a learning system for auditory learners, comprising recording means for capturing, digitizing, storing, and indexing voice statements; and means for allowing an auditory learner to search said indexing for desirable voice statements. The learning system further comprises means for playing on demand and broadcasting said desired voice statements to said auditory learner; means for creating an auditory live session for said learner; and means for mining said voice statements for emerging subject matter and to create new voice statements for playing on demand to said learner. [0011] The preferred embodiment of the invention is a new deployment vehicle for informal learning cultivated within a Community of Practice and broadcast over IP. The invention can be expanded to provide a venue for subject matter experts, the creative arts (as a motivator and outlet for multi-dimensional skill sets), and recycling of the prolific numbers of Web casts created and conducted in, for example, a large corporation. [0012] Further benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description, given with reference to the accompanying drawing, which specifies and shows preferred embodiments of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a learning system embodying this invention. [0014] FIG. 2 shows an infrastructure architecture that may be used in the practice of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0015] The present invention relates to a learning system for auditory learners, and FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a learning system 10 embodying the invention. Generally, system 10 comprises recording means 12 for capturing, digitizing, storing, and indexing voice statements; and means 14 for allowing an auditory learner, represented at 16, to search said indexing for desirable voice statements. System 10 also comprises means 20 for playing on demand and broadcasting said desired voice statements to said auditory learner; means 22 for creating an auditory live session for said leaner 16; and means 24 for mining said voice statements for emerging subject matter and for creating new voice statements for playing on demand to said learner. [0016] With a preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to learn, people tune into a Web cast for informal passive learning. The appropriate software may already be installed in the workstation. Live Web cast announcers, referred to as DJs, rotate around the world as people are at work. For example, 8 am to 5 pm Eastern Standard Time, may have DJs from the Americas, followed by DJs from the Asian-Pacific regions and then from the Eastern/Middle East regions. [0017] The DJs may be selected by a designated team based on any suitable criteria. The Web cast topics may be business related subjects, such as education, communications and/or discussions. [0018] Submissions may incorporate auditory instructional design techniques that will drive knowledge past the knowledge and comprehension levels. Programming may be designed to establish predictable curricula, highlight business focus, and create an alternative motivational medium for practitioners to exhibit their work-related enablements, colored by the unique creative contributions of independent artists. [0019] The present invention surpasses previous deployments of voice over IP because it employs on demand, cross platform, and focused instructional design strategies as deployments that take two forms--live broadcast, and on-demand broadcast. [0020] This invention fits the on-demand model because a learner can choose to reflect and re-listen at any time, choose informal learning as a "just-in-time" opportunity, or choose to join a live discussion with human interaction at a multi sensory level. For instance, a voice over IP discussion might result in a video conference, meeting, or other formal learning event. Continue reading...
