Abstract: A communications system may include user equipment (UE) that transmits data to a recipient via a network. The UE may receive user input and may generate the data based on the input. When a terrestrial network is unavailable to the UE, the UE may transmit segments of the data over a satellite constellation as the UE continues to receive input and while connectivity to the constellation exceeds a threshold. If a portion of the input includes an edit to a previous segment, the UE may include an edit flag in the corresponding segment. Once input has finished, the UE may sign the segments and may transmit a signature over the constellation. The network may store the segments as received from the constellation, may replace edited segments with more recent segments containing edit flags, and may compile and transmit all of the segments to the recipient upon receipt of the signature.

Abstract: This application relates to a client-server architecture that enables file sharing between an instructor and a class. The files are stored in a storage service accessible via a network, and a separate copy of each file can be shared with each student in the class. In order to facilitate the sharing of multiple copies of the file, a share pool is created in a partition of the storage service allocated to the instructor. The share pool includes a number of stub files that are placeholders for clones of the shared file. A share handler service receives a request to share a file with a class, requests a number of stub files from the share pool, and utilizes the number of stub files to generate clones of the shared file in the partition of the storage service. Students are then granted access to the clones in the partition.

Abstract: This application relates to a client-server architecture that enables progress tracking related to assignments generated by an instructor. A hand-out can include attachments that specify placeholders for hand-ins and/or activities to be performed by the student as part of the assignment. Some activities can be performed using third-party applications that implement at least a portion of a software framework that causes the applications to generate progress tracking information provided to a daemon executing in the background of a client device. The daemon and/or a client application interface with one or more network services to enable an instructor to utilize the progress tracking information. The network services can include a hand-out service utilized to generate hand-outs assigned to a group of students. The network services can also include a progress pipeline including a number of services configured to process progress tracking information received from a plurality of client devices.
