Method and apparatus for behaviorally reinforced training with guided practice
First Claim
1. An adaptive method for teaching by issuing remediative guided practice activities based on a previously performed guided practice activity to achieve performance-based behavioral modification in a two-way communication process, comprising the steps of:
- providing at an Internet site a course of scenario-based instruction having a mini-content object a series of non-knowledge based guided practice activities to be performed by an individual, each guided practice activity involving no right or wrong answer but rather behavioral tasks to be performed, each guided practice activity including information on how to modify performance;
automatically transmitting the mini-content object to the individual;
automatically transmitting, after the mini-content object the series of guided practice activities to the individual at known times, thus to provide the individual with an active learning experience through the guided practice activities;
assessing the individuals behavioral performance by pushing content to the individual to evaluate the individual'"'"'s reaction to the content, thus to permit providing updated guided practice activities;
transmitting back to the Internet site the individual'"'"'s reaction to the content; and
, adaptively providing a remediative guided practice activity back to the individual, the adaptation based on the individual'"'"'s reaction to the pushed content.

Abstract
A system provides training by automatically transmitting learning activities or tasks to an individual during the day. In one embodiment, this is done over the Internet by transmitting as a series of limited content mini-lessons to an individual'"'"'s computer, wireless phone, or personal digital assistant so that the individual learns faster and more completely by being prompted to perform simple learning tasks throughout the workday. Each lesson or guided practice range in duration from 15 seconds to approximately 5 minutes or less, depending on content requirement. In one embodiment, mini-lessons and follow-up activities are designed to be integrated into the learner'"'"'s daily experiences without requiring the learner to significantly deflect attention from his or her normal responsibilities or activities.
