20120088221 | DIGITAL ELECTRONIC TUTORING SYSTEM - This invention relates to an interactive, multi-sensory digital electronic tutoring system. The invention finds particular application as an electronic learning and teaching device that is configured as a digital or software “book”, preferably in a rugged slate form factor, that allows a user, normally a child, to activate electronic images, sounds and other outputs by selecting indicia displayed on a touch screen or the like and that includes programmable logic adapted to monitor and direct the child's teaching and learning experience. Central to the system is a software-derived teaching agent, presented in the form of a digital “tutor” that is integrated in the programmed logic (software) of the system in the form of an artificial intelligence (AI) system that provides a knowledge-driven, adaptive teaching and learning system that uses programming and internally- and externally derived data to adapt to the child user in a predetermined manner and that provides the child with a personalised learning process best suited to the particular child. The AI system is preferably constituted by a Self-Tuning Adaptive Control (STAC) system. | 04-12-2012 |
