Metaphorically, milk is a proven agent for promoting growth. The TEARN invention for automating learning activities is like an invention that reduces the cost of producing milk by ten fold. Thus, milk would cost $0.25 per gallon. The invention does not change milk as an effective element for promoting growth.

The industrial, computer, and Internet revolutions have shown that automation successfully replaces manual labor. Using unique technology that leverages each lesson into hundreds of learning activities, TEARN accomodates millions of learning activities -- to exceed the inventory of the largest book publishers. Manual efforts by publishers and webmasters to create and maintain their learning centers page-by-page -- simply cannot compete with automated methods.

Q: What learning methods are supported?

A: Howard Gardner from Harvard University, in his Multiple Intelligences thesis, defines eight classes of learners. Other educational researchers have expanded the classification to show dozens of ways that people learn. Every learner has the ability to learn, and responds to methods that match their abilities.

TEARN enables dozens of learning methods to match the needs of each learner. We believe that rich, one-on-one choice will enable more learners to discover their full potential.
