The system presents to the learner a constructive learning challenge, the constructive learning challenge formed so as to demonstrate the accomplishment of predetermined learning objectives and require the learner to construct a result. The method and system adapt the learning modality proclivity profiles and the learning modality profile tag in response to the demonstrated proclivity of the learner in accomplishing the predetermined learning objective and constructing the desired result. The invention further permits verifying the accomplishment of said predetermined learning objectives and the construction of said desired result.
