Abstract

This invention relates to a system and method for effective and efficient learning (EEL), with interactive, adaptive, and individualized computer-assisted instruction to students, which can be implemented on the Internet, network connected computers, single computer or other devices including designated device. More particularly the system and method includes for each student a student dynamic record adapted to the student which contains the student'"'"'s personal profile that includes learning style, ability (analysis, understanding, memory, reasoning, deduction, generalizing, applying, and speed), personality, interest, and background knowledge. The student dynamic record reflects its student'"'"'s behavior in responding to instruction. The EEL system also includes an AI engine consists of a self-improved dynamic rule base, which selects the materials in a knowledge base to control the instructional progress, and guides its student according to educational and psychological theories. The student dynamic record also contains information to direct the AI engine to provide review session. Preferably, a multimedia user interface is included with customizable multimedia presentation personae, which constitute a further aspect of the effective learning experience. The learner-centric education is what intended to achieve.

Claims

1. A method of operating an effective and efficient learning system for interactive instruction of one or more students, said method comprising:

checking identification numbers of said students and accessing respective dynamic records of said students through an AI engine;

accessing to one or more knowledge base and selecting materials according to said dynamic records of said students through said AI engine and presenting said materials to said student; and

comparing responses from said students with information at said knowledge base and updating respective dynamic records of said students wherein said dynamic records of said students contain date recorded.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said effective and efficient learning system utilizes one or more multimedia user interface.

3. A method of operating an effective and efficient learning system for interactive instruction of one or more students, said method comprising:

checking identification numbers of said students and accessing respective dynamic record of said students through an AI engine;

reviewing materials according to said dynamic record of said student through said AI engine from one or more knowledge base;

comparing responses from said students with information at said knowledge bases and updating respective dynamic records of said students;

accessing to said knowledge bases and selecting materials according to said dynamic records of said students through said AI engine and presenting said materials to said student; and

comparing responses from said students with information at said knowledge base and creating new dynamic records of said students.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein said effective and efficient learning system utilizes one or more multimedia user interface.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said system is stored in one or more computers, said computers are interconnected with each other and multimedia user interface by a network.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein said dynamic record for each said students comprises:

one or more item recording numbers; and

performance evaluation record.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein said dynamic record further comprises recorded date.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein said knowledge base comprises entries comprising of one or more steps of displaying materials, whereby said entries are assigned with respective entry number.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein said entries have different display modes.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein said display modes comprise learning display mode;

complete review mode, and

short review mode.

11. The method of claim 4, wherein said AI engine comprises software and rule base.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein said rule base may be modified.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein said materials are comprising of text, graphics, speech, audio, animation, video, and preformatted animated sequences.

14. The method of claim 4, further comprises a step of providing guiding information.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein said guiding information is displayed with one or more personae.

16. The method of claim 4, wherein said knowledge base comprises words, and definitions.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein said multimedia user interface comprises sound recognition device.
