Abstract

An electronic school teaching system includes a data collection computer, teacher's computers and a student's electronic and test units. The data collection computer is located in the school's administration office and connected to a plurality of teacher's computers located in a corresponding plurality of school rooms, and a plurality of student's read and test units are connectable to each of the teacher's computers. The data collection computer receives student related data including textbook updates to the teacher's computers. The teacher's computers are connectable to the student's read and test units for writing homework assignments, tests, and grades and reading student identification, homework, and test information. The student's read and test units include electronic textbook memory modules, one for each course, and a memory module for receiving the homework assignments, an open book size housing for a display, keyboard, and microprocessor. The display shows left and right pages of the textbook. The keyboard includes left and right page turning keys in the upper left and right corners, numeric keys for page and chapter location, alphabetical keys for answering test questions, and calling up each textbook, and true, false, yes, and no keys for answering questions conveniently located around the border of the textbook. The operation of the unit simulates the use of a normal textbook; thus, the level of difficulty in learning to use the unit is minimal.
