First Claim
1. A method of teaching, comprising:
- (a) establishing a connection between the communication device of a user and a computer system which includes a database containing predetermined assessment responses and lesson elements having an educational component and an assessment component;
(b) presenting a first subset of lesson elements to the user;
(c) obtaining at least one response from the user to at least one assessment component of the lesson elements in the first subset;
(d) comparing the at least one response of step (c) with the predetermined assessment responses; and
(e) modifying the first subset of lesson elements to obtain a second subset of lesson elements based upon the comparison of step (d).

Abstract
A system and method for teaching a user with a communications device linked to a computer system containing a database with a plurality of lessons wherein each lesson has a number of lesson elements with educational components and assessment components. The method compiles a first subset of lesson elements based upon a profile of the user, presents the first subset of lesson elements to the user, obtains user responses to assessment components in the presented first subset of lesson elements, compares the user responses to predetermined assessment responses, and adaptively modifies the first subset of lesson elements to obtain a unique second subset of lesson elements based upon the comparing step.

33. A system for teaching, comprising:
-
a user workstation including a communication device;
a data transmission system connected to said workstation;
a computer system connected through said data transmission system to said workstation, said computer system having a database containing predetermined assessment responses and lesson elements having an educational component and an assessment component, said computer system including;
(i) a presenting subsystem which creates a first subset of lesson elements, transmits them to said workstation and solicits a response;
(ii) a data receiving subsystem which receives at least one response of the user from said workstation to at least one assessment component of the lesson elements in said first subset, said data receiving subsystem producing a first signal representative of said at least one response;
(iii) a data comparing subsystem which compares said first signal with said predetermined assessment responses and produces a second signal representative of said comparison;
(iv) a modifying subsystem which modifies said first subset of lesson elements to create a second subset of lesson elements based upon said second signal. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
