Abstract

The study aid system provides various interfaces to help author to describe objects and to help reader to access related information systematically and dynamically. First, the system enables author to produce an overall writing guide, to specify the default aspects of each type of object, and to link different type of object to a different subroutine. Each subroutine provides necessary interfaces for author to supply related information to fill each default aspect of an object methodically. Further, the system lets reader to specify the default aspects of each type of object, to generate a customized study course, to control how information to be accessed, and to explore an object from one aspect by another. Furthermore, the system guides reader to survey a resource to produce an overall reading guide by providing recommendations, questions, and interfaces. Moreover, the system helps reader to understand an object better by describing the object differently and by letting reader search, compare, display related objects from database, and jump from one object to another object. Besides, the system provides interfaces for reader to build a unified knowledge system by inputting objects into database, taking notes, putting tags on related objects, and linking an object to related objects in database. In addition, the system helps reader to solve a problem by capturing reader's feedback, raising proper questions at proper time during a problem-solving process, and letting reader to search for related objects from database. Additionally, the system generates blank-filling problems, true-and-false problems, multiple choice problems, partially completed lists, partially completed maps and asks reader to solve problems, complete the partially completed lists, and complete the partially completed maps.
