Abstract
A computer-implemented knowledge acquisition system which enables user to easily create and share electronic study material is disclosed. The system includes a content creation module which can be configured to receive question data and answer data input by a first user and create a package content file using the input data. The content creation module includes a multimedia library from which images, video, and audio can be selected for inclusion in the package content file. The system also has a package distribution module which allows users to send the package content files to one or more users using a variety of transferring techniques.
Claims20
A computer-implemented knowledge acquisition system comprising:
- a content creation module configured to receive question data and answer data input by a first student and create one or more electronic slides therefrom;
- a package management module configured to compile a package content file based on a user selection of electronic slides to include in the package content file;
- a package distribution module configured to send the package content file from a first student to a second student;
- a user interface module configured to create a user interface having a first area, a second area, a third area, a fourth area, and a fifth area:
- the first area including a question data entry element configured to receive question data input by the first student;
- the second area including an answer data entry element configured to receive answer data input by the first student;
- the third area including an alternate answer data entry element configured to receive an alternate answer data input by the first student;
- the fourth area including an image selection button configured to provide access to a library of images, the library of images being displayed in a graphics selection interface of a multimedia library;
- and
- the fifth area including an image selection button configured to provide access to a library of sound files, the library of sound files being displayed in a audio selection interface of the multimedia library;
- wherein the content creation module accesses a graphics library from which images are selected for inclusion in the package content file;
- the images being related to the question data, and
- wherein the content creation module further accesses an audio library from which audio samples are selected for inclusion in the package content file, the audio samples being related to the question data, and
- wherein the package distribution module is further configured to store the package content file in a network location for download by a third student, and
- wherein the electronic slides in the package content file are modifiable by the third student;
- and
- wherein the content creation module is further configured to provide audio instructions via an audio playing module to the first user, the instructions for creating content accessible via an interface element on the user interface.
A computer-implemented method of providing learning services, the method comprising:
- receiving study material including question and answer data input into a computing device by a first user;
- creating a package content file from the received study material;
- storing the package content file in a memory;
- and
- sending the stored package content file to a second user for viewing and editing by the second user.
A computer-implemented knowledge acquisition system comprising:
- a content creation module configured to receive question data and answer data input by a first student and create a package content file therefrom;
- a package distribution module configured to send the package content file from a first student to a second student;
- wherein the content creation module comprises a graphics library from which images are selected for inclusion in the package content file;
- the images being related to the question data.
