Utilization of competencies as drivers in a learning network
First Claim
1. A learning network arrangement comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes representing subject matter elements for said learning network, the plurality of interconnected nodes including a first set of nodes associated with knowledge objects, a second set of nodes associated with learning objects, and a third set of nodes associated with competencies, wherein the first, second and third sets of nodes are linked in a pattern unique for each user of said learning network, where a plurality of nodes are linked to form a chunk, a plurality of chunks are linked to form a schema, and a plurality of schemas are linked to form the learning network;
- and at least one query agent for accessing a competency node associated with a query submitted by a user, the competency node being linked to associated competency, knowledge and learning nodes.

Abstract
A learning network is formed that includes “competencies” as content objects in the network, in addition to learning objects and knowledge objects. The nodes forming the network for linked in an individual pattern for each user accessing the network, thus allowing the learning network to be used by both novices and experts. The network includes data retrieval utilities that are configured to continuously access external sources of information to update the content stored in the network. Each network access by a user creates an updated relational table between the nodes, forming a dynamic interconnection of nodes so that the learning network provides improved response to each user during each subsequent access.
