Abstract

Disclosed is a learning support message distribution program which analyzes learning information of a learner, prepares a support message having contents based on the result of the analysis and distributes the support message to a supporter unit in place of a supporter of the learner. Learning progress levels on a current distribution date and a previous distribution date are read out and a learning-progress status level value is determined by referring to a learning-progress status level determination table. A current short-term grade level and a previous short-term grade level are read out and a short-term grade level value is determined by referring to a test-result status level determination table. A current cumulative grade level and a previous cumulative grade level are read out, a cumulative grade level value is determined by referring to the test-result status level determination table and a support mail editing/sending routine is executed. The support mail editing/sending routine sends a support message in which a proposed advice sentence corresponding to each status level value is written to a supporter personal computer.

Claims

1. A learning support message distribution program allowing a computer having learning information memory means for storing learning information of a learner and address memory means, connected to a supporter unit to be used by a supporter of said learner, for storing sendee address for communication data to said supporter unit to function as:

learning information reading means for reading learning information from said learning information memory means;

analysis data memory means for storing analysis data for analyzing said learning information read from said learning information reading means;

analysis means for analyzing said learning information read by said learning information reading means based on said analysis data stored in said analysis data memory means;

analysis result data memory means for storing said analysis result data obtained by said analysis means;

learning situation determining means for determining a change in a learning situation by comparing old analysis result data stored in said analysis result data memory means with current analysis result data obtained by said analysis means;

message memory means for storing a support message whose contents correspond to a result of determination made by said learning situation determining means;

message reading means for reading said support message corresponding to said result of determination made by said learning situation determining means from said message memory means; and

message transmitting means for transmitting said support message read by said message reading means to said sendee address stored in said address memory means.

2. The learning support message distribution program according to claim 1, which further allows said computer to function as:

clock means for measuring time;

time interval memory means for storing information on a time interval from information readout performed by said learning information reading means to next information readout;

time passage determining means for determining a passage of said time interval stored in said time interval memory means based on said time measured by said clock means; and

learning information readout executing means for causing said learning information reading means to execute a readout process when said time passage determining means determines that said time interval stored in said time interval memory means has passed.
