Abstract

A method for assessing learning comprehension regarding a topic includes modifying a fundamental illustrative model to illustrate a first set of assessment assets of a first learning object of learning objects to produce a first assessment illustrative model. The fundamental illustrative model is based on illustrative assets of a lesson that includes the learning objects. The method further includes obtaining a first assessment response for the first assessment illustrative model. When the first assessment response is favorable, the method further includes modifying the fundamental illustrative model to illustrate a second set of assessment assets of a second learning object of the learning objects to produce a second assessment illustrative model and obtaining a second assessment response for the second assessment illustrative model.
