Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing adaptive learning activities, such as exercises, quizzes, tests, examination, learning assessment tools, and other learning activities. A first aspect involves the system providing a progressive learning activity, where a question associated with a first step is presented to a user. If the user responds to the question incorrectly, the system presents the user another question associated with the first step. If the user responds correctly, the system presents the user another question associated with a second step. The questions get progressively more difficult as the user completes steps. A second aspect involves the system presenting a list of topics for review by the user based on responding to a single question or multiple questions. A third aspect involves the system generating a quiz based on one or more parameters selected by a user or based on a learning progress indicator of the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for creating or modifying browser-renderable teaching objects for use in creating a browser-renderable textbook data object. The apparatus includes a database, a network interface for receiving a source file containing codes for creating or modifying the browser-renderable teaching objects by way of a network, and a processor configured to create or modify the teaching objects based on the codes, and store the teaching objects in the database. A first code instructs the processor to create at least one browser-renderable section object for the textbook data object, the first code including a first attribute configured to instruct the processor to configure the at least one section object such that, when rendered by a browser module, a specified section title is provided at a beginning of the at least one section object; and (2) set of codes configured to instruct the processor to create or modify the teaching objects within the at least one section object.
