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.
