  • Publication number: 20070202481
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to obtain unique study content that is selected based on user's study goals and unique preferences includes having a user input a study goal and study preference. Then a first database of learning content, that may be traditional learning content prepared by an education institution, is queried based on the input study goal and preferences and study items are extracted from the first database. Then, the study items extracted from the first database are stored in a second database, the study items stored in the second database are then used to query a third database of potential learning content, which may include non-traditional learning content, and by matching the study items stored in the second database to content in the third database, study content that has been specifically tailored and personalized based on the user's input study goals and preferences is extracted and presented to the user for study and learning.
