Abstract
A computer based system and method for the creation and access of dynamic course content and associated media products is disclosed. The present invention utilizes dynamic current content sources such as news, web sources, blogs, podcasts, user generated content, and other sources to create media products such as slides, videos, audio and the like. The media products of the present invention are keyed to the static framework of the textbook or textbooks, and are searchable by textbook structure, media structure, key terms, date range, and the like.
Claims16
A computer-based system for the creation and access of dynamic timely course content comprising:
- a computer having a processor, memory, and access to computer readable media;
- a computer program stored on computer readable media configured to correlate electronic textbook structure data with dynamic timely media products stored on computer readable media;
- a user interface displayed on a computer monitor configured to interact with said computer program whereas the user interface comprises a display of electronic textbook structure data correlated to dynamic timely media products;
- a database of textbook structure data and course concepts stored on computer readable media and operatively coupled to said computer program;
- at least one dynamic current content electronic news source received from a computer network and stored on computer readable media that is used in the creation of said dynamic timely media products;
- and
- a search utility stored on computer readable media;
- whereas the search utility allows a user to select the dynamic timely media product created from the dynamic current content news source while viewing the electronic textbook structure data correlated to dynamic timely media products.
A method for the access and structuring of dynamic timely course content, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing with a computer electronic textbook structure data to a user;
- delivering with a computer dynamic timely media products created from at least one dynamic current content electronic news source;
- correlating with a computer electronic textbook structure data with dynamic timely media products;
- displaying on a computer monitor using key words a selection of dynamic timely media products that are correlated with the electronic textbook structure data;
- and
- allowing a user to select at least one dynamic timely media product from that selection.
