System and method for network-based personalized education environment
First Claim
1. A method of providing personalized education to an individual over a network, the method comprising:
- a. accessing a competency profile of the individual, such profile accessible to a server on a network;
b. comparing the individual'"'"'s competency profile with an education template accessible to the server, the template being derived from an education genome and defining a current desired standard for the individual'"'"'s competencies, to identify target learning areas, the genome being a machine readable resource providing a dynamic centralized repository of knowledge to be offered over the network;
c. offering, over the network, information content to the individual relevant to the target learning areas, such content being provided via user-selectable items of information content that collectively have a plurality of information product types.

Abstract
A system and method of providing personalized information to an individual over a network includes accessing a competency profile of the individual, such profile accessible to a server on a network and comparing the individual'"'"'s competency profile with an education template and behavioral scenario accessible to the server. The template defines a current desired standard for the individual'"'"'s competencies, in order to identify target training or learning areas. Information content relevant to the individual'"'"'s target training or learning areas is provided over the network via user-selectable items of information content that may collectively have a plurality of information product types.

5. A method of screening for individuals having a desired knowledge set, the method comprising:
-
a. storing a representation of a relevant education genome in a digital computer system, the genome being a machine readable resource providing a dynamic centralized repository of knowledge to be offered over the network; b. storing in the computer system the desired knowledge set as a representation of a target subset of the education genome; c. characterizing knowledge sets of individuals to be screened as candidate subsets of the education genome and storing representations of the candidate subsets in the computer system; and d. using the computer system to identify candidate subsets having a sufficient match with the target subset. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
