  • Publication number: 20050282135
    Abstract: A method that is performed by a computer system that includes a keyboard and a computer display. The method includes retrieving a keyword and displaying, on the computer display, a question and a partial answer to the question. The partial answer to the question does not include the keyword. However, the partial answer does indicate the location of the keyword in the partial answer. The method also includes receiving a character that was entered into the keyboard by a user and comparing the character to the first character in the keyword. If the character is not equal to the first character in the keyword, the computer system does not display the character on the computer display. However, if the character is equal to the first character in the keyword, then the computer system displays the keyword on the computer display.

  • Publication number: 20050003336
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for training a learner to learn and memorize at least one unfamiliar learning entity, wherein the learning entity has one or more learning elements. After presenting one or more unfamiliar learning entities to the learner in a contextual presentation, the learner is requested to memorize the unfamiliar learning entities for one or more times in view of the contextual presentation. When checking whether the learner has memorized the learning entities, the contextual presentation is presented to the learner with one or more selected learning entities missing therefrom. The missing learning entities are expected to be filled in by the learner to complete the contextual presentation so as to prove that the learner has memorized the learning entities. When each learning element of the learning entity is being provided by the learner, it is monitored and evaluated in real time before the learner completes each learning entity.
