Computer based education methods and apparatus

A method of using a computing apparatus comprising:

• in the computing apparatus comprising a bus device configured to be an interface for transmission of data;
• a processor;
• a plurality of sensing devices coupled to the bus device, the plurality of sensing devices including an image capturing device;
• a memory resource coupled to the bus device and including a course module application;
• a time and location device configured to transfer spatial location information and time information to an artificial intelligence module;
• and a network interface coupled to the bus device,
• executing the course module application by the processor causes the apparatus to:
• output a course directed to a subject, the course comprising a plurality of templates and a video associated with the subject;
• provide the artificial intelligence (AI) module comprising a plurality of nodes by performing a neural network process, each of the nodes being coupled to one or more of the plurality of sensing devices;
• perform a first feedback process to infer, by the AI module using information from the one or more of the plurality of sensing devices, whether a user is actively paying attention to the course, and to provide feedback to the user based on the inference, the feedback including a recommended time for watching a lecture;
• determine, based on the inference of whether the user is actively paying attention to the course, whether the user has earned a reward;
• in response to determining that the user has earned the reward, cause crypto currency to be generated and provide the generated crypto currency to the user as the reward;
• determine, based on the inference of whether the user is actively paying attention to the course, whether the user is not actively paying attention to the course;
• and
• in response to determining that the user is not actively paying attention to the course, performing an action configured to get the attention of the user.

• wherein the network interface is coupled to a network, and wherein the course module application when executed by the processor further causes the apparatus to:
• in response to inferring that the user is not actively paying attention to the course, cause an allocation, a usage, or both of a network resource of the network to be reduced.
