Filed:

Nov 22, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/424353

Inventors:

Donald A. Cook - Jamaica Plain MA
George Lukas - Brighton MA
Andrew V. Lukas - Boulder CO
David J. Padwa - Santa Fe NM

Assignee:

Finali Corporation - Westminster CO

International Classification:

G09B 300

US Classification:

434350, 434118, 434336, 434322, 706927

Abstract:

This invention relates to a system and method for interactive, adaptive, and individualized computer assisted instruction. This invention includes an agent ( ) for each student ( ) which adapts to its student, and provides individualized guidance to the student and controls to the augmented computer assisted instructional materials. The instructional materials of this invention are augmented to communicate the students performance and the materials pedagogical characteristics to the agent, and to receive control from the agent. In a preferred embodiment, the agent maintains data reflecting the students pedagogic or cognitive characteristics in a protected and portable media in the personal control of the student. Preferably, the content of the communication between the agent and the materials conforms to specified interface standards, so that the agent acts independently of the content of the particular materials. Also preferably, the agent can project using various I/O modalities integrated engaging, lifelike display personna(e).
