Abstract

A system and method to provide dynamic reviews for individual students. In one embodiment for a student, the system selects an un-learnt line-item, and generates detailed learning materials for the un-learnt line-item. Then the system selects a learnt line-item based on one or more learnt-line-item-selection rules, and generates summarized-learning materials on the selected learnt line-item for the student to review. The summarized-learning materials include study-plans. The detailed learning materials may include questions, in addition to study-plans. For an un-learnt line-item, after presenting the generated learning materials to the student, the present invention assesses the student's understanding in the line-item. If the assessment is satisfactory, the un-learnt line-item is re-classified as a learnt line-item. In another embodiment, the present invention accesses a line-item probability value, which is used to select a line-item. If the line-item is an un-learnt line-item, the invention generates detailed learning materials for the student; and if the student is successful in learning the materials, the invention re-classifies the line-item to a learnt line-item. If the line-item is a learnt line-item, which is selected based on one or more learnt-line-item-selection rules, the invention generates summarized learning materials for the student. The invention then repeats and selects another line-item.
