Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating and updating task series to facilitate reliable processing, the method comprising: detecting an identifier that corresponds to an electronic device, the identifier being associated with an educational course; identifying a plurality of tasks associated with the identifier; detecting a temporal processing constraint that is applicable to the electronic device that includes an upper-bound limit on a time for completing the plurality of tasks; generating a task series that includes the plurality of tasks and that is consistent with the temporal processing constraint, the task series associating each task in the plurality of tasks with a performance time, wherein a task in the plurality of tasks includes performing a processing that involves a particular electronic content object, and wherein the processing that involves the particular electronic content object includes provision of user input at the electronic device; generating a presentation that identifies a performance time of at least one task in the plurality of tasks; determining, at a time subsequent to the performance time associated with the task, that the processing involving the particular electronic content object had not been completed, wherein determining that the processing involving the particular electronic content object had not been completed includes determining that a data store does not include a set of processing results associated with the identifier; updating the task series such that the task is associated with a new performance time, the updated task series remaining consistent with the temporal processing constraint; and providing information of the updated task series.
