Abstract
An interactive computer system and method collects, aggregates and distributes information derived from free-text responses to questions. The system and method collect free-text responses from a subject user and aggregates them with free-text responses from other users. The system and method then uses these free-text responses in learning methodologies (such as temporal spacing) and styles to facilitate long-term learning and knowledge retention.
Claims64
A method of collecting information from users and aggregating it into a useful format, the method comprising:
- through a computer device and server computer in communication with each other:
- a. presenting a question to a subject user at the computer device;
- b. electronically recording, by the server computer, the subject user's free text response to the question;
- c. calculating a list of one or more prior free text responses from other subject users which may be equivalent to response of the subject user;
- d. presenting the calculated list of potentially-equivalent free text responses from other subject users to the subject user at the computer device;
- e. the subject user selecting if one or more prior responses on the list are equivalent to the subject user's response or if none on the list is equivalent;
- f. electronically recording, by the server computer, the subject user's selection of an equivalent response;
- g. calculating a selected list of responses to the question;
- h. re-presenting the question and the selected list of responses to the subject user at the computer device;
- i. electronically recording, by the server computer which response on the selected list the subject user selects as the best response to the question;
- such that responses from the subject user are collected and aggregated into the responses from other subject users in a manner resulting in information enhancing knowledge retention and learning.
A computer system for collecting information from users and aggregating it into a useful format, comprising:
- a server computer;
- a client device coupled to the server by a communication network, the server computer and client device being operatively configured to:
- a. present a question to a subject user;
- b. electronically record the subject user's free text response to the question;
- c. calculate a list of one or more prior free text responses from other subject users which may be equivalent to response of the subject user;
- d. present the calculated list of potentially-equivalent free text responses from other subject users to the subject user;
- e. the subject user selecting if one or more prior responses on the list is equivalent to the subject user's response or if none on the list is equivalent;
- f. electronically record the subject user's selection of an equivalent response;
- g. calculate a selected list of responses to the question;
- h. re-present the question and the selected list of responses to the subject user;
- i. electronically record which response on the selected list the subject user selects as the best response to the question;
- such that responses from the subject user are collected and aggregated into the responses from other subject users in a manner resulting in information enhancing knowledge retention and learning.
