Abstract: An electronic learning device (10) for teaching how to tell time is provided. A student provides input to the device, in a preferred embodiment, by a plurality of keys (14) which select the learning activity and its difficulty level. In certain activities, the device (10) request (visually and/or auditorily) the student to engage in a randomly selected time-identification problem. The student's response is compared with the correct response, and the information concerning the appropriateness of the response is provided to the student. In the case of erroneous response, the correct response can be presented to the student both orally and visually. A speech synthesizer (38) (and/or analog and/or digital display) serves to generate a request to the student concerning time identification problems, and comments on the appropriateness of the student's response.
