Abstract
The invention provides a method of learner-directed education comprising the steps of storing in computer memory one or more pedagogies representing topics to be mastered by a learner one or more of the pedagogies comprising one or more pedagogy items relating to sub-topics of the pedagogy; for one or more of the pedagogy items, storing in computer memory a plurality of instructional approaches to the pedagogy item, the instructional approaches comprising one or more locally stored media items and/or one or more links to remote media items; maintaining in computer memory a learner profile for each learner; providing the learner with a leaning interface to the one or more pedagogies stored in computer memory; updating the learner profile for a learner based on the interaction of the learner with the one or more media items; and displaying to the learner an indication of their mastery of pedagogical items as the learner profile for that learner is updated. The invention also provides a related system and computer program for learner-directed education.

27. A method of education comprising:
-
storing in computer memory one or more pedagogies representing topics to be mastered by a learner, one or more of the pedagogies including one or more pedagogy items representing sub-topics of the pedagogy;
for at least one of the pedagogy items, storing in computer memory one or more instructional approaches to the pedagogy item, the instructional approaches including one or more locally stored media items and/or one or more links to remote media items;
maintaining in computer memory a learner profile for at least one learner;
providing the learner with a learning interface to the one or more pedagogies stored in computer memory;
displaying to the learner via the learning interface, an indication of the learner'"'"'s mastery of one or more of the pedagogy items;
updating the learner profile for the learner based on the learner'"'"'s interaction with the one or more media items; and
refreshing the indication of the learner'"'"'s mastery of the one or more pedagogy items when the learner profile for that learner is updated. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

53. A system for education including:
-
a data memory configured to store;
one or more pedagogy data objects representing topics to be mastered by one or more learners;
one or more pedagogy item data objects stored in relation to one or more of the pedagogy data objects, the one or more pedagogy item data objects representing sub-topics for the related pedagogy data object;
one or more locally stored media items and/or one or more links to remote media items stored in relation to one or more of the pedagogy item data objects; and
at least one learner profile data object including data representing a level of mastery for a learner in relation to one or more of the pedagogy item data objects;
a display configured to display to a learner a learning interface to the one or more pedagogy data objects and related pedagogy item data objects stored in the data memory, wherein the learning interface includes an indication of the learner'"'"'s level of mastery of one or more of the pedagogy item data objects as stored in the learner profile data object for the learner;
input means configured to allow the learner to interact with one or more of the media items for a pedagogy item data object; and
processing means configured to assess the learner'"'"'s interaction with the one or more media items and to update the learner profile data object accordingly by adjusting the level of mastery for the related pedagogy item data object in the learner profile data object for the learner;
wherein the display is further configured to refresh the indication of the learner'"'"'s level of mastery of the one ore more pedagogy item data objects when a level of mastery is adjusted in the learner profile data object. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
