Abstract:
Information is provided to a participant, and a quiz or questionnaire about the provided information is subsequently administered. In the quiz embodiment, the participant receives a reward (such as a credit at an on-line shopping web site) if the performance on the quiz is adequate. Tying the reward to adequate performance on the quiz ensures that the information provided has been adequately learned. In the questionnaire embodiment, the participant receives a reward for answering all of the questions. Preferably, incorrect answers are corrected to promote learning of the information. In a preferred embodiment, a coupon is used to invite participation in the program, and the Internet is used to transmit the information, the quiz or questionnaire, and the answers.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for automatically calibrating a pointing device, such as a stylus, with a writing surface, such as a touch screen. In one example, an automated method is implemented to calibrate the writing surface based user inputs attempting to use the computer for functions other than calibration of the writing surface. The user inputs may be, for example, a user selecting a button within a non-calibration software application. The automated method may generate a miscalibration vector based upon where the user input was received and where the user input was expected. In yet another example, a bias field may be generated for the writing surface from the collected user inputs. In yet other examples, a computing device may comprise computer-executable instructions for performing one or methods of calibrating the writing surface.
