Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a system and method for educating one or more individuals, and in particular, an electronic education system and method that is capable of being used by one or more students to learn, improve, and/or enhance fundamental literacy skills. In various aspects, one or more elements such as pop-up menus, social media connections, web interfaces, and/or the like, may be provided that enable users, such as students, to engage in real-time, interactive computer-enabled instruction.

Claims

1. An electronic education system comprising:

at least one processor to;

based on a learning ability of a user, automatically hyperlink at least one term included in at least one page of a plurality of pages included in a book to at least one selectable option of a reading resource menu;

display the hyperlinked at least one term during presentation of the at least one page on a reading display to enable access to the term; and

display a window corresponding to the at least one selectable option, when the hyperlink is accessed.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

serve a webpage comprising the reading display to present at least one page of the book; and

process membership information corresponding to the user to generate a unique membership account corresponding to the user and authorize the user to access the webpage.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to generate an electronic journal corresponding to the user when the membership account is generated.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the reading display comprises the reading resource menu, wherein the at least one selectable option corresponds to the at least one book, and wherein the at least one selectable option includes at least one of vocabulary terms, phonics lessons, self-assessments, reading voices, and choose-your-adventures.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the reading display further comprises an Ask link interface comprising one or more data fields to receive one or more questions corresponding to the at least one book as input from the user.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein to automatically hyperlink, at least one term included in at least one page of the plurality of pages to at least one selectable option of a reading resource menu, based on the learning ability of the user comprises:

determining a reading level of the user; and

identifying the term based on the reading level.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the window is a pop-up window external to the reading display.

8. An education method comprising:

based on a learning ability of a user, automatically hyperlinking at least one term included in at least one page of a plurality of pages included in a book to at least one selectable option of a reading resource menu;

displaying, using at least one processor, the hyperlinked at least one term during presentation of the at least one page on a reading display to enable access to the term; and

displaying, using the at least one processor, a window corresponding to the at least one selectable option, when the hyperlink is accessed.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

serving a webpage comprising the reading display to present at least one page of the book; and

processing membership information corresponding to the user to generate a unique membership account corresponding to the user and authorize the user to access the webpage.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to generate an electronic journal corresponding to the user when the membership account is generated.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the reading display comprises the reading resource menu, wherein the at least one selectable option corresponds to the at least one book, and wherein the at least one selectable option includes at least one of vocabulary terms, phonics lessons, self-assessments, reading voices, and choose-your-adventures.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the reading display further comprises Ask link interface comprising one or more data fields to receive one or more questions corresponding to the at least one book as input from the user.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein automatically hyperlinking, at least one term included in at least one page of the plurality of pages to at least one selectable option of a reading resource menu, based on the learning ability of the user comprises:

determining a reading level of the user; and

identifying the term based on the reading level.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the window is a pop-up window external to the reading display.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions for performing electronic education, the instructions, executable by a processor, comprising:

serving a webpage comprising a reading display to present at least one book to a user, the book comprising a plurality of pages;

based on a learning ability of the user, hyperlinking at least one term included in at least one page of the plurality of pages to at least one selectable option of a reading resource menu included in the webpage;

displaying the hyperlinked at least one term on the reading display during presentation of the at least one page to enable access to the term; and

displaying on the reading display, a window corresponding to the at least one selectable option, when the hyperlink is accessed.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to process membership information corresponding to the user to generate a unique membership account corresponding to the user and authorize the user to access the webpage.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to generate an electronic journal corresponding to the user when the membership account is generated.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the reading display comprises the reading resource menu, wherein the at least one selectable option corresponds to the at least one book, and wherein the at least one selectable option includes at least one of vocabulary terms, phonics lessons, self-assessments, reading voices, and choose-your-adventures.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the reading display further comprises Ask link interface comprising one or more data fields to receive one or more questions corresponding to the at least one book as input from the user.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the window is a pop-up window external to the reading display.
