Training system and method for improving user knowledge and skills
First Claim
1. A method for creating training system for improving user knowledge and skills in a given course, said method comprising the steps of:
- i) Analyzing and mapping the course requirements for evaluating the required knowledge and skills according to mapped subjects and defining possible failure causes, wherein each failure cause represents knowledge or skill weakness relating a certain subject or general weakness;
ii) Defining knowledge/skills target level as function of the number of user'"'"'s correct/wrong answers in each subject;
iii) Preparing a pool of questions, wherein each question is related to at least one subject knowledge/skill and/or failure cause;
iv) Preparing a set of answers for each question, comprising at least one correct answer and at least one wrong answer, wherein each wrong answer is related to a specific sub-subject/subject and/or to one or more failure cause;
v) Defining an evaluation module for assessing user knowledge/skills level based on users success in giving correct answers in comparison to predefined target levels and type of failure causes related to the user'"'"'s wrong answers;
vi) Defining exercise module for selecting sequence of questions out of the predefined set of questions based on evaluations of user knowledge/skills level and detected failure causes;

Abstract
The training system and method for improving user knowledge/skills in a given course. The training system is created by analyzing and mapping the required knowledge and skills within a given course, and possible failure corse, which represent lack of knowledge/skill weakness (A). Based on the analysis process, a pool of questions and answers is prepared. Each question relates to learning objects and each wrong answer indicates a specific failure cause (B). The training system includes set of exercise sessions based on said questions (C). At the end of each session the system evaluates user knowledge/skills level and draws conclusions from possible reasons for choosing a particular wrong answer, spending a particular amount of time or requesting a hint for a certain question (D). Based on this analysis, the system builds an individual tutorial program for each student, which includes feedbacks, customized lessons and exercises.
