System and method of interactive learning using adaptive notes
First Claim
1. Software embodied in a computer-readable medium and operable, when executed by a computer, to:
- communicate to a user an activity containing information from a note for both teaching the user material in the note and measuring an understanding of the material in the note by the user;
receive a response to the activity from the user; and
determine from the response a measurement of the understanding of the material in the note by the user.

Abstract
An educational software system is disclosed which includes interactive notes which automatically adapt to each student. Each note represents an individual item to learn and has an associated mastery level which is visually represented for the student. Built-in activities are provided which serve the dual purpose of providing practice and measurement in a multi-sensory, rapid response environment with immediate and specific feedback. The mastery level of each note is automatically adjusted by the student'"'"'s performance. The software automatically selects notes to be practiced along with the activity to be used, thereby optimizing the student'"'"'s practice time. The algorithm used for this selection takes into account such factors as the current mastery level of each note and the length of time since the note was last practiced.

54. A method for teaching material in a note to a user and measuring the user'"'"'s understanding of the material in the note comprising:
-
communicating an activity with information from a note to a user;
receiving a response to the activity from the user; and
determining from the response a measurement of the understanding of the material in the note by the user;
communicating to the user the measurement of the understanding of the material by the user; and
selecting a new activity to be communicated to the user based at least in part on the response.

55. A method for teaching material in a note to a user and measuring the user'"'"'s understanding of the material in the note comprising:
-
communicating an activity with information from a note to a user;
receiving a response to the activity from the user; and
determining from the response a measurement of the understanding of the material in the note by the user;
communicating to the user the measurement of the understanding of the material by the user; and
modifying the activity by communicating information to the user from a second note selected at least in part based on the response.

56. A system for teaching material in a note to a user and measuring the user'"'"'s understanding of the material in the note comprising:
-
means for communicating an activity with information from a note to a user;
means for receiving a response to the activity from the user; and
means for determining from the response a measurement of the understanding of the material in the note by the user;
means for communicating to the user the measurement of the understanding of the material by the user; and
