Abstract:
A method and system for delivering and managing assessments involving using an interface device, connected to an electronic and/or communications channel(s), to access an assessment delivery and management system in order to provide access to certain information content and to provide access to assessment items. User activity within an interface device occurs within an environment in which multiple components are present in a manner that produces a continuous unified perceptual experience. Thus users can create and modify assessment results while in the presence of the information content, which most likely represents, either directly or indirectly, the material or subject for which an assessment is being created. User activities within one component do not material affect or disturb information in other components unless the user intentionally chooses to alter other components. Modifications to the assessment results may also occur within the continuous unified perceptual experience.
Abstract:
A method and system for allowing a user to locate, select, purchase and receive delivery of small unit research information involving using an interface device, connected to an electronic and/or communications channel(s), to access a research item information system. To enable purchase of small unit research information the invention provides access to elements to allow purchase transactions using micropayment transactions. Micropayments for small unit items provide a mechanism for keeping the cost of transactions low and thus allowing for electronic purchase in small denominations. Upon purchase the system manages the delivery of purchased small unit research information from its electronic and/or communications channel(s) location.
