Definitions

  • the present invention relates to systems and methods for delivering educational demonstration material and content to a student, acquiring educational content by a student, and for providing an educational kit to be offered to students and a method of learning therefrom.
  • the current systems and methods do not provide efficient and effective systems or methods that enable a student to receive a similar educational experience remote from the classroom as the student would have received had the student attended the class and listened to the presentations associated with the text book. Additionally, the current systems and methods do not provide the flexibility to enable a student to view lectures away from the class room environment as may be required where a student needs additional review or is not able to attend the class.
  • the inventor hereof has succeeded at designing systems and methods for delivering an educational program to a student, the educational program offering an enhanced educational learning experience to a student while providing the student with improved flexibility in receiving such a learning experience.
  • a system for educational content delivery comprises educational matter having organized content addressing an educational topic and an audio visual medium including one or more presentations having content generally associated with the educational matter content and generally coordinated, at least in part, with the organization of the educational matter content.
  • a method of delivering educational content to a student comprises offering a course having educational content, registering a student for the offered course, delivering to the registered student educational matter including the educational content in an organized format and delivering to the registered student an audio visual medium having one or more presentations with content generally associated with the educational content and generally coordinated, at least in part, with the organized format of the educational content.
  • the delivering of the audio visual presentation medium may be done in conjunction with receiving the registration.
  • a method of acquiring educational content by a student comprises registering with an educational institution for a course having educational content, receiving educational matter including the educational content in an organized format from the educational institution, receiving an audio visual medium having a plurality of presentations with content generally associated with the educational content and generally coordinated, at least in part, with the organized format of the educational content, reviewing the educational matter and displaying the presentations contained on the audio visual medium.
  • a method of providing an educational kit to be offered to students by an educational institution as a course comprises preparing educational matter having educational content, recording one or more presentations associated with the educational matter and preparing an audio visual medium having the presentations.
