Abstract
A computer system contains and displays a cartoon-like story with a plurality of displayed components (such as cartoon characters, play items, etc.) recognizable by a preschool student on a first portion of the display screen along with an accompanying voice message on the speaker. Written instructions for teachers to follow in a personal one-to-one interaction with one or more students are displayed on a second portion of the display screen. For some activities, the student may actually respond using the computer such as by touching a touch screen or using a mouse to select one of the displayed components in response to a request to select a displayed component having a predetermined aspect. For other activities the teacher enters the response of the student as observed by the teacher. When one or more correct responses are entered by the student or teacher, achievement of a goal can automatically be entered into the educational management system.

- The present invention relates to computer systems used for the instruction of younger students, namely preschool children such as ages 3-5, and the assessment of the achievement of such students.
- Many computer based systems have been developed to provide improvement in education of students in schools. Some computer systems provide lessons or tests for students to learn and often these systems automatically assess the achievement of the students upon completion of a lesson or test. Also computer systems are employed by teachers to compose, copy or modify tests, lessons or lesson plans.
- However in the instruction of young children, such as preschool and the early grades, the children generally lack sufficient computer skills to effectively interact with prior art education computer systems. Thus there is a need for improved computer systems in the instruction of younger children.
- Thus Hofer does not teach capturing address candidates and using addressee name information to automatically disambiguate among those candidates.
- The present invention utilizes a computer system which contains and displays a cartoon-like story with a plurality of displayed components (such as cartoon characters, play items, etc.) recognizable by a preschool student on a first portion of the display screen along with an accompanying voice message on the speaker. Written instructions for teachers to follow in a personal one-to-one interaction with one or more students are displayed on a second portion of the display screen. For some activities, the student may actually respond using the computer such as by touching a touch screen or using a mouse to select one of the displayed components in response to a request to select a displayed component having a predetermined aspect. For other activities the teacher enters the response of the student as observed by the teacher. When one or more correct responses are entered by the student or teacher, achievement of a goal can automatically be entered into the educational management system such as that disclosed in the incorporated patents and applications.
- An object of the invention is to provide computer based instructional activities that include both teacher-facilitated and independent learning options. In the teacher-facilitated option, the computer provides on-screen instructions, which facilitates a three-way interaction involving the child, the teacher, and instructional material. The computer provides stimulus presentations and instructions to the child enabling independent learning by the child. In addition, it offers on-screen prompts to the teacher facilitating teacher-child interaction. The teacher-facilitated option paves the way for the independent learning option, in which the child interacts with the computer without the presence of the teacher.

FIG. 21 is a view of a screen displayed during another instruction activity. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , an interactive computer system for instructor-student teaching and assessment of preschool children in accordance with one embodiment of the invention is employed in a computer network having a plurality ofcomputer stations 30 along with aserver station 32 interconnected by anetwork 34. Eachcomputer station 30 typically includes acentral processing unit 36 which is connected to akeyboard 38, amouse 40, amonitor 46, aspeaker 42 and aprinter 44. Thecentral unit 36 typically includes a read/write removable media device such asfloppy disk drive 46, a read only removable media device such as a CD-ROM or DVD reader (or reader/writer) 48 and a mass storage device such as ahard drive 50. Theserver station 32 is similar to the computer stations but has aserver unit 52 which contains storage units for holding a large quantity of files which are accessed by thecomputer stations 30 through thenetwork 34. - The
network 34 in one preferred embodiment is the World Wide Web (sometimes called the internet) but could alternatively be one of a variety of other possible network configurations. Where the educational management system is employed in a single school or closely distanced schools, thenetwork 34 can be a hardwired internal network or connected through dedicated lines (sometimes called an intranet). - The interactive computer system for instructor-student teaching and assessment of preschool children is formed by one or more software programs which control and operate the
computers 30 andserver 32. In the program shown inFIG. 2 , the user enters a user name and password to gain access to the program. Next the window ofFIG. 3 is displayed with options “curriculum resources” 64, “assessment” 66 and “instruction” 68 for the user to select. Instep 70 if the user selects “curriculum resources” the program calls acurriculum resources procedure 72 in which the user can retrieve documents, background information, support information, and other information about the invention. Ifassessment 66 is selected, step 74 branches to theassessment procedure 76 ofFIGS. 4 , 7 and 11 and ifinstruction 68 is selected, step 78 branches to theinstruction procedure 80 ofFIG. 16 . - In the
assessment procedure 76, thewindow 84,FIG. 5 , is initially displayed to instruct the teacher that no feedback regarding right or wrong answers should be given to the student during the assessment procedure. Next thewindow 86,FIG. 6 , is displayed. Thiswindow 86 contains ascale selection window 88, a knowledge area selection window 90 and awindow 92 listing the animated activities, descriptions of the corresponding activities and the goals to be achieved by the corresponding activities along withcheck boxes 94 by which the user can select a particular animated activity of assessment. After the user has selected the scale to be assessed instep 100 it is determined if the user has elected to assess a single knowledge area instep 102. Selection of a single knowledge area instep 104 reduces the number of activities displayed inwindow 92 to those activities relating to the selected single knowledge area instead of a listing of all activities relating to the selected scale. Instep 106, the user clicks on one of thecheck boxes 94 to select an animated activity for child assessment. Clicking on thenext button 108 inFIG. 6 calls thenext procedure 110 inFIG. 7 . - In the second portion of the
assessment procedure 110 ofFIG. 7 , thewindow 112 ofFIG. 8 is displayed. This window contains aclass selection window 114 and achild selection window 116. The user instep 118 uses thewindow 114 to select a class containing the child to be assessed and instep 120 uses thewindow 116 to select the child to be assessed. After selection of the child,step 122 displays alist 124 of the goals of the selected activity and the achievement status of these goals by the selected child. Then clicking on thestart button 128 calls the third portion (start) 130,FIG. 9 , of the assessment procedure. - The selected animation activity is downloaded, if on the internet, and an initial screen (not shown) with another start activity button (not shown). Then in
step 132 the procedure determines if the user has clicked on the start activity button and, if true, proceeds to step 134 where the activity is played. Playing the activity results in animated display of a cartoon in the upper portion of the display which contains a plurality of components which are readily recognizable by a preschool age child. For example the screens ofFIGS. 10-15 contain scenes from separate animated acts in an activity call “Guess the Action” containing components including cartoon characters 140 (Argus the alligator) and 142 (Belle the bunny), play items such asballs square 148,pizza 150, glass ofice 152,red shirt 154,blue shirt 156,desk 158 andbunk bed 160. Instep 162 the instructor guides the child in the activity. On the lower portion of the screen a writteninstruction 164 is displayed for providing instruction and guidance to the instructor while monitoring or helping the child. - During play of each act, the vocal story requests selection of one of the displayed components which have a predefined aspect related to a goal being assessed. For example in the scene of
FIG. 10 , selection of the character standing on something square is requested. The program activates screen regions on the characters as buttons which can be clicked or alternatively touched in the case a touch screen is used and waits until a selection is made. Use of themouse 40 to move thepointer 166 and clicking on the character standing on the square 148 by the child or by the instructor in response to the child pointing to the character indicates that the child has achieved an understanding of the word “square”. In the scenes ofFIGS. 11-15 the understanding of other words or aspects are assessed; inFIG. 11 - - - “hot”, inFIG. 12 , - - - “blue”, inFIG. 13 - - - “next to”, inFIG. 14 - - - “behind”, and inFIG. 15 - - - “bottom”. Following the play and completion of selections in the scenes of the activity, step 170 displays thewindow 172 inFIG. 16 which displays the results of the assessment activity just played. Correct selection of the displayed components having the requested predefined aspects in the scenes ofFIGS. 10-15 results in the indication that the goals of the activity have been achieved, i.e. “learned”. Incorrect selection of one or more components results in an indication that one or more goals of the activity have not been achieved i.e., “not learned”. - The combination of the display of an assessment activity by the computer on a first portion of the screen in a format such as a cartoon which is attractive to preschool children with the display of written instructions for the teacher on a second portion of the screen provides for the unique interaction between a child and the teacher resulting in improved learning by the child. The child is readily instructed in the use of the mouse and can independently perform the activity after learning its use. The teacher by reading the written instructions is assisted in providing guidance, such as repeating a request, to a child.
- Referring back to
FIG. 9 , step 174 permits the instructor to request repeating the assessment activity, steps 134, 162 and 170 so that multiple children can be assessed using the same assessment activity. Step 176 responds to clicking on an exit button (not shown) to return the program to the procedure ofFIG. 7 . - When the
instruction button 68 ofFIG. 3 is selected, the procedure ofFIG. 17 is called and thewindow 180 ofFIG. 18 is displayed. Instep 182, a scale and a knowledge area are selected using the scaleselect window 184 and the knowledge areaselect window 186 which results in the display of alisting 188 of the instruction activities relating to the selected scale and knowledge area. Step 190 provides to the selection of a printname tag button 192 calling a nametag printing procedure 194. An instruction activity is selected from thelist 188 in thestep 196 by clicking on acheck box 198 associated with the selected activity. Similar to the assessment activities, the animated cartoon of the instruction activity is accessed or downloaded if on the internet and an initial screen with a start or play button is displayed. Clicking on the start button,step 200, plays the cartoon. The instruction activity can have interactive portions similar to assessment activities or can be simply instructive. Instructional activities can be played individually or by a class or group of children. Guidance for the instructor can also be displayed on the screen,step 202, in promoting interaction with a child or children. - Scenes of
FIGS. 19 and 20 illustrate an instructional activity relates to the use of letters to form words. In the first scene ofFIG. 19 the vocal story describes the magician Argus magically displaying the word “cap” on the front side of a box. Sliding the front side upward shows a cap inside the box. The story requests that each letter, successively highlighted, be clicked on by a child or instructor, whereupon the phonetic sound of the letter is broadcast on the speaker. Then in the second scene ofFIG. 20 the story tells of Argus magically changing the letter “c” to “m”. Again the story requests clicking on each letter of the new word and broadcasts the phonetic sounds of each letter followed by raising the front side and display of a map inside the box. - A
screen 204 of another instruction activity shows theupper portion 206 where a cartoon shows a plate with letters to be selected by the child to form a word or name. Alower portion 208 of the screen contains written instructions for the instructor in promoting learning and interaction with the child. Step 210 inFIG. 17 illustrates that the user can click on the close button in any window to close that window. - The above description of detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings are only illustrative of one embodiment of the invention and only illustrate a small portion of an extensive library of assessment activities and instruction activities. Many modifications, changes in detail and variations can be devised without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
- It will be obvious to those having skill in the art that many changes may be made to the details of the above-described embodiments without departing from the underlying principles of the invention. The scope of the present invention should, therefore, be determined only by the following claims.
