System and method for aggregating feedback

Abstract

Systems, servers, methods, media, and programs for managing meeting ratings in a distributed system are provided. A feedback application generates a calendar invitation for a meeting to a meeting leader and meeting attendees, hosts the meeting, provides a request for feedback to the meeting attendees, generates a summary of the feedback or a recommendation for the meeting leader based on the feedback and provides the meeting leader with the summary of the feedback or the recommendation. The feedback application can also determine that the meeting leader is eligible for a reward.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 generating, with one or more processors, a calendar item for a meeting for a meeting leader and a plurality of meeting attendees; 
 hosting, with the one or more processors, the meeting; 
 providing a request for feedback to the plurality of meeting attendees in a rating input area of a calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees, the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees capable of displaying a time interval, the calendar item, and the rating input area; 
 aggregating, with the one or more processors, feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees into the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees for the meeting; 
 generating, with the one or more processors, a summary of the feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees and a recommendation for the meeting leader based on the feedback; and 
 providing the meeting leader with the summary of the feedback and the recommendation in a calendar application of the meeting leader. 
 
     
     
       2. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating an online reward when the feedback meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold. 
     
     
       3. The computer implemented method of  claim 2 , further comprising posting the online reward to a social network. 
     
     
       4. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the request for feedback includes a plurality of questions for the plurality of meeting attendees to answer. 
     
     
       5. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes a first score for the meeting or a second score for the meeting leader. 
     
     
       6. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the request for feedback is provided during the meeting. 
     
     
       7. The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising recording a time-stamp associated with each piece of feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees and wherein the summary of the feedback is organized according to the time-stamps. 
     
     
       8. The computer implemented method of  claim 7 , wherein providing the meeting leader with the summary of the feedback occurs during the meeting. 
     
     
       9. The computer implemented method of  claim 7 , wherein the summary of the feedback is organized according to a beginning, a middle and an end based on the time-stamps associated with each piece of feedback. 
     
     
       10. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is based on feedback where the meeting leader received a poorest score. 
     
     
       11. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating historical feedback information associated with a plurality of meetings of the meeting leader. 
     
     
       12. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the feedback is received anonymously. 
     
     
       13. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating the summary of the feedback for public distribution. 
     
     
       14. The computer implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating the summary of the feedback for private distribution. 
     
     
       15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, the program executable by a processor, comprising:
 generating a calendar item for a meeting for a meeting leader and a plurality of meeting attendees; 
 hosting the meeting; 
 providing a request for feedback to the plurality of meeting attendees in a rating input area of a calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees, the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees capable of displaying a time interval, the calendar item, and the rating input area; 
 aggregating feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees into the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees for the meeting; 
 generating a summary of the feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees and a recommendation for the meeting leader based on the feedback; and 
 providing the meeting leader with the summary of the feedback and the recommendation in a calendar application of the meeting leader. 
 
     
     
       16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , further comprising generating an online reward when the feedback meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold. 
     
     
       17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the computer-readable medium is further configured to post the online reward to a social network. 
     
     
       18. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
 at least one memory storing meeting information of a user; and 
 at least one processor to:
 generate a calendar item for a meeting for a meeting leader and a plurality of meeting attendees; 
 host the meeting; 
 provide a request for feedback to the plurality of meeting attendees in a rating input area of a calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees, the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees capable of displaying a time interval, the calendar item, and the rating input area; 
 aggregate feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees into the calendar application of the plurality of meeting attendees for the meeting; 
 generate a summary of the feedback from the plurality of meeting attendees and a recommendation for the meeting leader based on the feedback; and 
 provide the meeting leader with the summary of the feedback and the recommendation in a calendar application of the meeting leader. 
 
 
     
     
       19. The system of  claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate an online reward when the feedback meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold. 
     
     
       20. The system of  claim 19 , wherein the processor is further configured to post the online reward to social network.
