ELECTRONIC LEARNING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A machine-readable medium storing instructions for presenting a question item of an electronic learning curriculum, said instructions, when executed by a processor of a computing device, causing said computing device to:
- (a) retrieve from a data store a question item comprising;
textual, visual or auditory subject matter;
a query or instruction pertaining to said subject matter; and
a representation of a response mechanism for receiving a user response to said query or instruction;
(b) present said subject matter, said query or instruction and said response mechanism in a presentation sequence, wherein a presentation duration of each of said subject matter, said query or instruction and said response mechanism in said presentation sequence is controlled by user input;
(c) based on said user input, determine;
a presentation duration of said subject matter;
a presentation duration of said query or instruction; and
a presentation duration of said response mechanism; and
(d) store indicators of each of said three presentation durations.

Abstract
A question item comprising: textual, visual or auditory subject matter; a query or instruction pertaining to the subject matter; and a representation of a response mechanism for receiving a user response to the query or instruction, may be retrieved from a data store. The subject matter, query or instruction and response mechanism may be presented in a presentation sequence, wherein a presentation duration of each of the subject matter, query or instruction and response mechanism is controlled by user input. Based on the user input, a presentation duration of each of the subject matter, query or instruction, and response mechanism may be determined. Each of the three presentation durations may be stored. A completion time may be determined based on one or more of the presentation durations and may be stored along with response accuracy, for use in calculating a user competency measure for the question item. An algorithm for advancing through an electronic learning curriculum comprising multiple question items may also be provided.

32. A computing device having a processor in communication with memory storing instructions for presenting a question item of an electronic learning curriculum which, when executed by said processor, cause said computing device to:
-
(a) retrieve from a data store a question item comprising; textual, visual or auditory subject matter; a query or instruction pertaining to said subject matter; and a representation of a response mechanism for receiving a user response to said query or instruction; (b) present said subject matter, said query or instruction and said response mechanism in a presentation sequence, wherein a presentation duration of each of said subject matter, said query or instruction and said response mechanism in said presentation sequence is controlled by user input; (c) based on said user input, determine; a presentation duration of said subject matter; a presentation duration of said query or instruction; and a presentation duration of said response mechanism; and (d) store indicators of each of said three presentation durations. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35)

36. A machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause said computing device to:
-
(a) calculate a user competency measure for each question item in each of a plurality of question item sets comprising an electronic learning curriculum, said calculating being based on an average response accuracy for said question item and an average completion time for said question item over a plurality of trials; (b) for each question item set of said plurality, calculate a collective user competency measure for the set based on the user competency measures of the question items of said set; and (c) automatically select for repeated presentation the question item set whose collective user competency measure is closest to but below a threshold. - View Dependent Claims (37)
