Abstract
A system and method augments a recorded lecture (110) based on the importance of the material and/or based on a student's needs. The importance of each segment of the lecture material (110) is based at least in part on questions from prior exams (120), and the student's needs are based at least in part on the student's performance (130) on prior exams. The method (410-440) of presenting the augmented material to the student may also be customized based on the student's learning style.
