Abstract
An apparatus for generating a data structure containing at least one field corresponding to a setting of a product includes a memory storing a plurality of queries corresponding to various configuration settings of the product. The memory includes a plurality of queries that are presented to a user of the product and/or a user of a training device associated with the product. The apparatus also includes a display for displaying the queries to a user and an input device for providing responses to the queries by the user. The apparatus may also include a training device having a plurality of lessons for training the user on the product. The training device may also include an exam having a plurality of questions that may be presented to the user to test the user'"'"'s understanding of the product. A method of the present invention configures the lessons presented by the training device to the user and the questions asked by the training device according to the configuration settings stored in the data structure. The data structure can also be used to configure the product according to the configuration settings within the data structure. With this method and apparatus, the product and the training device for the product can be configured according to the data structure. In particular, the training device can be configured to tailor the lessons provided by the training device according to the configuration settings of the product and to tailor the questions asked by the training device.
