Abstract

In general, an Internet based blended learning system provides educational tools to a student in accordance with the student's expressed educational interests. The blended learning system uses multiple educational tools that are tailored toward providing the end-user with complete and efficient educational lessons. Each tailored educational tool is focused upon a knowledge area in which the student has expressed educational interest. Students may complete each educational tool at their own pace, repeat lessons as necessary, and learn according to their own schedule. The blended learning system uses combinations of instructor-led virtual classrooms (I-led), online coaching, interactive computer based training (CBT), knowledge databases, published study guides and books, hands-on exercise labs and/or pre-certification exams.
