Abstract: In an electronic learning program, a training program is provided to convey information to a user. The training program uses sequences and measures within the sequences to organize the course material to be presented. An assessment of the user is performed prior to formal training. The assessment tests for attitude and knowledge base of the user. The attitude assessment solicits responses from each user as to state of mind regarding the training program. The knowledge assessment solicits responses from each user to test understanding of the course material. The training program is adapted under a rule structure based on the assessment to alter presentation of the training program. A first or second measure is selected for presentation to the user based on a rule check of the user assessment. The first measure is a different level of detail than the second measure of similar subject matter.
