  • System and method for generating and providing educational exercises
    Patent number: 7377785
    Abstract: A system and method for generating and administering classroom exercises to a student. One or more root questions is generated, where each root question has a stem, a plurality of right answers, and a plurality of wrong answers. A multiple-choice question instance is created by combining the stem with a set of answer choices that are created from one of the right answers and one or more of the wrong answers. The questions are administered to a student. Preferably, the sets of questions based on the same root questions are administered one or more times to the student—e.g., a student may be required to work three sets of question instances based on the same set of root questions, or may be required to continue working new sets of question instances until all of the questions in one set are answered correctly.
