PRODUCT FEATURES
1. THE INTELLI-SYSTEM
All of our Artificial Intelligence Learning™ Series units have a unique feature called
the Intelli-System, which helps you learn as much as possible in a way that fits you best.
Howdoesthesystemwork? Asyouplay,theIntelli-Systemisalwaysrunning,andkeeping
track of how you do in every subject. When you have played enough activities, the Intelli-
System has enough information to guide your learning: it knows when you should switch
to another subject, which level of an activity is best for you, and which subjects you could
use more work on. Simply put, the Intelli-System teaches you what you need to learn.
These are two ways in which the Intelli-System helps you:
1. When you choose an activity in a certain subject from the Main Menu, the Intelli-System
checks to see how you’re doing in each curriculum of that subject. Then it automatically
chooses a curriculum that you need more practice in.
2. WhenyouchooseIntelli-ChallengefromtheMainMenu,theIntelli-Systempicksactivities
for you based on how you’ve done in the past. In Fun Mode, the Intelli-System picks
activities that you play often, or do very well in. In Challenge Mode, the Intelli-System
picks activities that are more challenging for you.
2. PLAY MODES
In the Tablet Notebook, you can choose from 3 different modes of play and learning:
- Menu Mode
- Intelli-Challenge Mode
- Adventure Mode
Menu Mode
Pickthegames and subjects youwant to explore! HowaboutWordgames?Mathgames?
Or would you like Social Studies or Science? Check out the Main Menu to get started.
Intelli-Challenge Mode
In this mode, the Intelli-System takes over and challenges you with activities covering all
kinds of subjects. You can choose from Fun mode and Challenge mode:
• Fun Mode
This mode is best when you want to relax and have some fun. The Intelli-System will
choose questions for you from subjects you’ve done well in, or from games that you have
played often and enjoy most.
•
Challenge Mode
Now you’re in for a real challenge! The Intelli-System will test you with questions from
subject areas that may not be as familiar to you, and in which you could use a little
practice.
