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; 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.
