  • Publication number: 20070160969
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data processing system for delivering educational material and performing an evaluation of the progress of a recipient of that material are disclosed. According to a preferred embodiment, a community of instructor-users assembles a database of evaluation material corresponding to existing media content available via the Internet or through other electronic means (video, CD-ROM, etc.). Students utilize special client software (and/or hardware) to access the media content, where the client retrieves not only the media content itself, but also any evaluation material that is associated with that media content. As a student views the content, he/she is presented with questions from the evaluation material, which he/she must answer. The student's responses to the evaluation material are recorded and may be used to adjust the difficulty level and topics covered, as appropriate.
