Abstract
Techniques for enhancing an individual's knowledge of civics topics in an interactive manner are described herein. In particular implementations, a user may interact with a computing device, such as a smart phone, tablet computer, or laptop computer, to take a test related to civics topics and to view information about others that have taken the test. For example, a user may view an average test score of others of a particular geographical region or group, a test score of an elected representative, a test score of a friend, and so on.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- under control of one or more computing devices configured with specific executable instructions,
- causing a civics test to be provided to a user;
- identifying a civics test score for the user that is based at least in part on input of the user in response to one or more questions of the civics test;
- and
- causing display of information indicative of the civics test score of the user relative to one or more civics test scores of one or more other users.
One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, instruct one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- causing a civics test to be provided to each of a plurality of users;
- determining a civics test score for each of the plurality of users based at least in part on one or more answers of the civics test for each of the plurality of users;
- and
- causing display of a map with an icon representing at least one user of the plurality of users, selection of the icon causing display of the civics test score for the at least one user of the plurality of users.
One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, instruct one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- causing a civics test to be provided to a user through a client device;
- identifying a civics test score for the user that is based at least in part on input of the user in response to one or more questions of the civics test;
- and
- causing output of information indicative of the civics test score of the user relative to one or more civics test scores of one or more other users.
