Abstract

Methods, systems, and media for computer-based learning are provided. In some embodiments, methods for leaching a student in a computer-based learning environment are provided, the methods comprising: identifying a concept to be taught to the student; accessing a learning profile for the student, wherein the learning profile identifies at least one category of content as being more successful than other categories in teaching the student; selecting content based on the student learning profile, the concept to be taught, and a categorization of the content; and presenting the content to the student.

Claims

1. A method for teaching a student in a computer-based learning environment, comprising:

identifying, using at least one processing device, a first concept that was learned by a first student and that is related to a second concept to be learned by the first student;

identifying, using the at least one processing device, a first type of content used to teach the first concept to the first student;

identifying, using the at least one processing device, at least one other student that learned the first concept from the first type of content;

identifying, using the at least one processing device, a second type of content through which the at least one other student learned the second concept;

selecting, using the at least one processing device, content corresponding to the second concept and the second type of content; and

causing to be presented, using the at least one processing device, the content corresponding to the second concept and the second type of content to the first student, wherein the content is part of a strategy that includes a plurality of pieces of content that are scored.
