Abstract: The present disclosure teaches a method and system for improving delivery of educational content. The content delivery system is based on best practices in classroom instruction, transferred into an online learning format. The lesson format includes short bursts of video-based instruction, interrupted by formative assessment in the form of multiple choice and multiple answer questions, in the same way a teacher would teach in a classroom. The system enables educators to import their own direct instruction content in the form of videos and add in their own questions and answer choices throughout the lesson, where appropriate. Further, the educator is also able to create his or her own summative assessment question items that incorporate material from multiple lessons. The educator also has the option of incorporating videos created by other sources or educators that can be found online.
