  • Publication number: 20040063085
    Abstract: The training system and method for improving user knowledge/skills in a given course. The training system is created by analyzing and mapping the required knowledge and skills within a given course, and possible failure corse, which represent lack of knowledge/skill weakness (A). Based on the analysis process, a pool of questions and answers is prepared. Each question relates to learning objects and each wrong answer indicates a specific failure cause (B). The training system includes set of exercise sessions based on said questions (C). At the end of each session the system evaluates user knowledge/skills level and draws conclusions from possible reasons for choosing a particular wrong answer, spending a particular amount of time or requesting a hint for a certain question (D). Based on this analysis, the system builds an individual tutorial program for each student, which includes feedbacks, customized lessons and exercises.
