Abstract

System and method for a learner interaction process comprising receiving information regarding one or more learners, receiving information regarding the educational material that the one or more learners would like to learn, presenting more than one question regarding the educational material prior to presenting the educational material to the one or more learners, receiving answers to the more than one questions presented to the one or more learners, presenting the educational material to the one or more learners, identifying the amount of time the one or more learns reviewed the educational material, presenting and receiving answers to more than one question regarding the educational material that the one or more learners has reviewed after the educational material has been presented to the one or more learners, and determining whether the one or more learners learned the educational material presented based on the one or more learners answers to the questions.

Claims

1. A learner interaction method for educational material, the method comprising:

receiving information regarding one or more learners from the one or more learners;

receiving information regarding the educational material identified by the one or more learners;

presenting more than one question regarding the educational material identified by the one or more learners prior to presenting the educational material to the one or more learners;

receiving answers to the more than one questions presented to the one or more learners;

presenting the educational material to the one or more learners;

identifying the amount of time the one or more learns reviewed the educational material;

presenting more than one question regarding the educational material that the one or more learners have reviewed after the educational material has been presented to the one or more learners;

receiving answers to the more than one questions presented to the one or more learners after the educational material has been presented to the one or more learners; and

determining whether the one or more learners learned the educational material presented based on the one or more learners'"'"' answers to the questions presented before and after the educational material was presented and the amount of time the one or more learners reviewed the educational material.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information received regarding one or more learners is from the group consisting of:

name, age, native language, language level, motivation level, mental conditions, whether the one or more learners are listening to music, the format that the one or more learners prefer.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information received is information regarding the educational material is information from the group consisting of:

the subject matter of the educational material, the grade level, the format of the educational material, scores on exams taken by the one or more learners, the one or more learner'"'"'s knowledge, and skill level.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the educational material learned by the learner is determined by the difference in the performance of the learner before learning the educational material and the performance of the learner after learning the educational material divided by the total amount of time the learner spends learning the educational material.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the educational material is presented to the one or more learners based on the factors selected from the group consisting of:

the answers received by the one or more learner'"'"'s prior to learning the educational material, the learner'"'"'s reading comprehension ability, the learner'"'"'s working memory capacity, ideal spacing between study sessions.

6. The method of claim 1, further presenting the educational material to the one or more learners after identifying the portions of the educational materials that are most effective at teaching the content of the educational material and modifying the educational materials based on the performance of one or more learners who learned the educational material.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating a list of the educational material learned by the one or more learners and providing the one or more learners with access to the one or more educational material learned by the one or more learners.

8. A learner interaction method for educational material, the method comprising:

receiving information regarding one or more learners from the one or more learners;

receiving information regarding the educational material identified by the one or more learners;

presenting more than one question regarding the educational material identified by the one or more learners learn prior to presenting the educational material to the one or more learners;

receiving answers to the more than one questions presented to the one or more learners;

presenting the educational material to the one or more learners;

identifying the amount of time the one or more learns reviewed the educational material;

presenting more than one question regarding the educational material that the one or more learners have reviewed after the educational material has been presented to the one or more learners;

receiving answers to the more than one questions presented to the one or more learners after the educational material has been presented to the one or more learners;

determining whether the one or more learners learned the educational material presented based on the one or more learners answers to the questions presented before and after the educational material was presented and the amount of time the one or more learners reviewed the educational material;

creating a schedule for the one or more learners learning the educational material; and

prompting the one or more learners whenever the one or more learner is scheduled to learn the educational material.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more learners are prompted to learn the educational material by email or text message.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the information received regarding one or more learners is from the group consisting of:

name, age, native language, language level, motivation level, mental conditions, whether the one or more learners are listening to music, the format that the one or more learners prefer.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the information received regarding the educational material identified by the one or more learner from the group consisting of:

the subject matter of the educational material, the grade level, the format of the educational material, scores on exams taken by the one or more learners, the one or more learner'"'"'s knowledge, and skill level.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the educational material learned by the learner is determined by the difference in the performance of the learner before learning the educational material and the performance of the learner after learning the educational material divided by the total amount of time the learner spends learning the educational material.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the educational material is presented to the one or more learners based on the factors selected from the group consisting of:

the answers received by the one or more learner'"'"'s prior to learning the educational material, the learner'"'"'s reading comprehension ability, the learner'"'"'s working memory capacity, ideal spacing between study sessions.

14. The method of claim 8, further presenting the educational material to the one or more learners after identifying the portions of the educational materials that are most effective at teaching the content of the educational material and modifying the educational materials based on the performance of one or more learners who learned the educational material.

15. The method of claim 8, further comprising creating a list of the educational material learned by the one or more learners and providing the one or more learners with access to the one or more educational material learned by the one or more learners.

16. A learner interaction method for educational material, the method comprising:

using an algorithm that determines the educational material provided to one more learners based on one of more factors regarding the one or learners and factors that affect the learning outcomes of the one more learners;

receiving information regarding the one or more learners and factors that affect the learning outcomes of the one more learners;

modifying or creating educational material for the one or more learners using the algorithm based on the information received regarding the one or more learners and factors that affect the learning outcomes of the one more learners;

providing or providing access to the educational material modified or created for the one or more learners to the one or more learners; and
