Abstract

The educational system recommends to users, a most efficient manner of accomplishing tasks achievable by computing devices. The system detects command sequences executed by users during an interaction with computing devices distributed over a network in an attempt to achieve a certain goal. The command sequences are segmented, each segment is labeled with a goal identifying purpose mark, a cost of each segment is computed. The detected command sequences are then compared with the command sequences detected previously and the descriptions of the more efficient command sequences are provided to the users utilizing the less effective approaches. The detected command sequence is stored in place of less efficient of the command sequences and where no prior command sequences has been previously stored.
