Abstract: A real-time instruction device in accordance with the present invention comprises a database, a selecting module and a GUI. The database comprises at least multiple classifications and multiple Flash components corresponding to the classifications. The selecting interface allows a teacher to select a classification from the database. The GUI virtually simulates a white board that allows the teacher to dynamically drag a selected Flash component for real-time instruction with boundless space for teaching.

Abstract: The computerized testing device with a network editing interface in accordance with the present invention allows a teacher to generate customized quizzes or teaching materials for students logging into the computerized testing device to take tests through a network. The computerized testing device comprises an examination managing module, a content database, a testing module and a recording module. The network editing interface allows teachers to generate quizzes or teaching materials, and comprises a quiz database, a template database, a teacher database and a network editing interface.

Abstract: A computerized education device, a multimedia production device and associated methods in accordance with the present invention provide students with an adaptive and proactive interaction learning environment. The computerized education device allows students to log in and take tests and comprises a computer-based learning platform, a content database, a student database and a processor. The multimedia production device has multiple-user and multiple-tasking capabilities to produce multimedia materials and comprises a managing server and multiple stations. A FLASH component conversion method generates a Flash component without expensive creation work and comprises acts of retrieving content, sampling, generating a small web format file, generating a data model and generating a FLASH quiz. The interacting method changes difficulty of content based on responses of students and comprises acts of qualifying, entertaining and compiling statistics.

Abstract: It is provided isolated polynucleotides that include sequences from genomic region around the gene CD 81. The polynucleotides include polymorphisms associated with treatment response of HCV patients to interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy and are useful as the probes in screening for patients who will response to interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy. It is further provided linkage disequilibrium structure of the CD81 gene and haplotype information within a particular LD block, which can be used for prediction of the treatment outcome of the interferon-? and ribavirin combined therapy on HCV patients.
