Apparatus and method for instructional information delivery

A system for delivering instructional information, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• one or more output devices comprising at least three visual displays;
• and
• a computer readable medium having computer usable program code executing on the processor to perform operations comprising
• displaying an image of instructional information on one or more of the at least three visual displays prior to a triggering event, the instructional information comprising a plurality images selected by an instructor as part of a lesson plan, the plurality of images comprising material directed to a topic within the lesson plan, the electronic displays in one room;
• varying display of the image of the instructional information in an instructional varying display pattern on at least a portion of the at least three visual displays in response to the triggering event, wherein the instructional varying display pattern comprises displaying the image of the instructional information in a plurality of image patterns in a near term, by the processor, each image display pattern comprising information display attributes;
• and
• varying a display of background information on each of the at least three visual displays not displaying instructional information, the background information comprising a stored collection that is not part of the instructional information, the background information displayed with a background varying display pattern, wherein the background varying display pattern comprises displaying a plurality of image patterns in the near term, by the processor, each image display pattern comrising information display attributes,
• wherein the information display attributes comprise
• varying which of the at least three visual displays is displaying the instructional information and the background information;
• and varying one or more of
• duration of a display of the instructional information on a display of the at least three visual displays;
• duration of a display of the background information on a display of the at least three visual electronic displays;
• one or more transition effects associated with a display of the instructional information;
• one or more transition effects associated with a display of the instructional information;
• timing between displays of the instructional information;
• and
• timing between displays of the background information,
• wherein the instructional varying display pattern and the background varying display pattern are each displayed and the information display attributes of associated image patterns are varied such that duplication of an image pattern within the instructional varying display pattern and the background varying display pattern on the at least three visual electronic displays is precluded in the near term.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code executable on a processor to perform operations for delivering instructional information, the operations of the computer program product comprising:

• displaying an image of instructional information on one or more of at least three visual electronic displays prior to a triggering event, the instructional information comprising a plurality of images selected by an instructor as part of a lesson plan, the plurality of images comprising material directed to a topic within the lesson plan, the electronic displays in one room;
• varying display of the image of the instructional information in an instructional varying display pattern on at least a portion of the at least three visual electronic displays in response to the triggering event, wherein the instructional varying display pattern comprises displaying the image of the instructional information in a plurality of image patterns in a near term, by a hardware controller, each image display pattern comprising information display attributes;
• and
• varying a display of background information on each of the at least three visual electronic displays not displaying instructional information, the background information comprising a stored collection that is not part of the instructional information, the background information displayed with a background varying display pattern, wherein the background varying display pattern comprises displaying a plurality of image patterns in the near term, by a hardware controller, each image display pattern comprising information display attributes;
• wherein the information display attributes comprise
• varying which of the at least three visual electronic displays is displaying the instructional information and the background information;
• and varying one or more of
• duration of a display of the instructional information on a display of the at least three visual electronic displays;
• duration of a display of the background information on a display of the at least three visual electronic displays;
• one or more transition effects associated with a display of the instructional information;
• one or more transition effects associated with a display of the instructional information;
• timing between displays of the instructional information;
• and
• timing between displays of the background information,
• wherein the instructional varying display pattern and the background varying display pattern are each displayed and the information display attributes of associated image patterns are varied such that duplication of an image pattern within the instructional varying display pattern and the background varying display pattern on the at least three visual electronic displays is precluded in the near term.
