Systems and methods for providing tailored educational materials

A computer-implemented method of presenting education content to at least one user on a computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, data from a data store relating to the at least one user's performance in a course having a proficiency average, said course comprising a plurality of questions, said data including, for each of said plurality of questions, an amount of time elapsed between presentation of a respective question and an answer to said respective question from said at least one user, a number of times said respective question has been asked, and a number of times said respective question has been answered correctly;
• training, by the processor, a recurrent neural network by:
• creating a first training set comprising the data relating to the at least one user's performance in a first of said plurality of questions and said proficiency average;
• creating a second training set comprising the data relating to the at least one user's performance in the first of said plurality of questions and at least a second of said plurality of questions and said proficiency average;
• creating at least a third training set comprising the data relating to the at least one user's performance in each of said plurality of questions in said course and said proficiency average;
• and
• training, at a single time instance, said recurrent neutral network using each of said first training set, said second training set, and said third training set;
• selecting, by the processor, a plurality of content items including at least one question, wherein selecting the at least one question comprises:
• for the at least one question, determining, by the processor, a probability that the at least one question will be answered correctly using the recurrent neural network;
• and
• selecting said at least one question based on said at least one question having a probability of being answered correctly by said at least one user that is less likely than a threshold probability;
• and
• presenting said plurality of selected content items including said at least one question to said at least one user on a client device associated with said at least one user.
