Abstract

A computer-based self-motivates guide learning system and the corresponding method are disclosed. During the learning process, an encourage module stores guide learning initiation conditions set by the user and guide learning stop conditions. Such conditions are used to keep the user motivated to learn. The disclosed system includes a learning module, a secondary learning module, an encourage module, and a main control module. The disclosed method includes the steps of: getting user'"'"'s settings, reading a learning level, executing the learning process, and recording the learning level, storing the current learning level and stopping the learning process after the guide learning initialization conditions are satisfied, executing the encourage process and recording the execution level, and switching back to the learning process once the guide learning stop conditions are satisfied.

Claims

1. A computer-based self-motivated guide learning system comprising:

a learning module, which provides a learning process;

a secondary learning module, which provides a guide learning process;

an encourage module, which allows the user to set initialization conditions and stop conditions of a guide learning process and generates an encourage process; and

a main control module, which controls the learning process and the guide learning process according to the initialization conditions and the stop conditions, and controls the process execution by the learning module and the secondary learning process and storage and restoration of learning levels.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the secondary learning module is selected from a group consisting of game and series story software.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the initialization conditions of the guide learning process include at least the number of completed units and the number of correct answers.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the stop conditions of the guide learning process include at least the times of a game and a game time.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the stop conditions of the guide learning process include at least the number of inserted units and the number of inserted pages.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the encourage module further allows a user to set the type of a guide learning process.

7. A computer-based self-motivated guide learning method for generating an encourage process according to user'"'"'s settings, the method comprising the steps of:

allowing the user to perform settings;

reading a learning level;

executing a learning process and recording the current learning level;

satisfying the initialization conditions for a guide learning process;

storing the current learning level and interrupting the learning process;

executing the guide learning process and recording the execution level; and

satisfying the stop conditions for the guide learning process.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the steps of executing a learning process and recording the current learning level and satisfying the initialization conditions of a guide learning process are repeated if the initialization conditions for the guide learning process are not satisfied.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the steps of executing the guide learning process and recording the execution level and satisfying the stop conditions for the guide learning process are repeated if the stop conditions for the guide learning process are not satisfied.
