COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED LEARNING METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented adaptive learning method, for performance within the context of a task being carried out by a user, the method comprising:
- designating as a learning item at least one of a sequence of elements presented to the user as part of the task;
selecting a learning object in dependence upon the designated learning item, information relating to previous performance of the learning method in relation to the user, and a predetermined scheme devised to manage an overall learning process for the user, presentation of the selected learning object to the user being intended to advance the user'"'"'s knowledge of the designated learning item in some way;
presenting the learning object to the user; and
updating the information in dependence upon the presented learning object and/or how the user interacts with or responds to the presented learning object,wherein the learning object is selected in dependence on the user'"'"'s current knowledge of the learning item, which is estimated as a result of the user'"'"'s performance on learning objects.

Abstract
A computer-implemented adaptive learning method is disclosed. The method is intended for performance within the context of a task being carried out by a user. At least one of a sequence of elements presented to the user as part of the task is designated as a learning item. A learning object is selected in dependence upon the designated learning item, information relating to previous performance of the learning method in relation to the user, and a predetermined scheme devised to manage an overall learning process for the user. Presentation of the selected learning object to the user is intended to advance the user'"'"'s knowledge of the designated learning item in some way. Once the learning object has been presented to the user, the information is updated in dependence upon the presented learning object and/or how the user interacts with or responds to the presented learning object.
