Definitions

  • the present invention relates to educational software.
  • the present invention relates to educational software for the provision of developmental information pertaining to a subject. It has often been noted that children are not delivered with a training manual to assist their carers with their development. Parents, grandparents, teachers and other carers are continually frustrated by issues relating to the understanding of the development of children and adolescents.
  • a method for providing information in relation to a subject comprising the steps of obtaining from a user the age of the subject, obtaining from the user one or more information categories of interest to said user, extracting from a database age-specific information in the categories of interest and providing to said user the extracted information.
  • the method of the present invention may preferably be operated as a software package incorporating user friendly interfaces to guide the user through an information gathering process whereby the age of the subject is determined and the categories of interest to the user identified.
  • the software may be provided in a form that may be operable on a personal computer.
  • the software may be provided on readable digital media such as a removable disk, CD-ROM, VCD, SVCD, DVD, the World Wide Web or other convenient media.
  • the software will be installed on the user's PC and may not require the removable media to be present in order for operation.
  • the software may also be provided for operation on a DVD player, digital interactive television or the like.
  • the subjects are children and adolescents, although the program may be readily modified to provide selected information in respect of other groups of subjects. In such applications the method may require the user to provide the developmental age/stage of the subject rather than the chronological age.
  • the user will typically be a care giver such as a parent, grandparent, teacher or the like.
  • the method of the present invention requires the step of obtaining from the user the age of the subject.
  • the age of the subject will typically be the chronological age of the subject, although in certain applications a developmental age/stage may be alternatively provided. In respect of subjects that are children or adolescents, the chronological age may conveniently be obtained and input into an automated process. Generally, the age may be obtained in years, although with infants, it may be desirable to obtain the age in months.
  • a software package may be customised whereby the date of birth of one or more subjects may be provided. Subsequent sessions utilising the software package will calculate the age of a selected subject whereby entry of the subject's age is directly required during each session.
  • the subject or subjects may conveniently be identified by their names.
  • the information categories may broadly include age milestones, concerns and problems, and parenting tips. The information provided in these categories may assist a care giver in determining that which is normal for a child of a particular age, reasons for a child behaving in a particular way, strategies for solving habits or problems, strategies for encouraging desirable behaviours and strategies for discouraging undesirable behaviours.
  • the user may select information relating to behavioural issues, behaviour management, cognitive development activities, creative development activities, emotional development activities, physical fine motor activities, physical gross motor activities, social developmental activities, parenting methods and recommendations, general problems relating to parenting and raising the subject, issues related to changes in children/parents external environment, issues related to changes in children/parents internal environment, relationships between children, adolescents, peers and siblings, developmental milestones, parent/child relationships, general information specific to the subject's age, issues related to changing development, psychological issues and development, health and well-being, and other age-specific idiosyncrasies.
  • age-specific information as referred to above, a variety of general information that is less age-specific may also be selected.
  • the age of the subject may be obtained before or after the information categories are obtained.
  • An automated process may be run on the PC, DVD player or the like whereby information is selected to match the categories obtained from the user.
  • the automated process may select information from a removable or non removable storage media associated with the device.
  • the device may retrieve information from the World Wide Web or other external sources and select same for the user.
  • the selected information may be provided to the user in a variety of convenient forms.
  • the selected information may be provided to the user as printed or displayed text, video clip, voice or other audio format.
  • the method of the present invention may be provided as an interactive software package that enables ready access to child and adolescent related issues, parenting issues, developmental issues; all within a few clicks of a computer mouse. Detailed information on milestones at a particular age, developmental issues, behavioural problems, parenting methods and recommendations, general problems and issues related to children at adolescents may be readily accessed by fully functional software.
  • the user of the interactive software may readily access further information from a category or diversify the selected information to categories that are related or of further interest to the user.
  • the process of the present invention may reduce the need for extensive research and reduce previous book and video methods by hours.
  • the amount of information that may be stored in digital format on a CD- ROM, VCD, SVCD, DVD or the world wide web can be equivalent to that contained in hundreds of books and can readily and immediately be accessed relevant information can be provided to a carer far more efficiently and in a manner that will encourage the carer to access such information on a regular basis rather than to "muddle through" not having the time to fully seek out answers for age-specific queries on childhood development.
  • a system created by software of the kind described above may provide in-house, 24 hours a day, interactive parenting advice, knowledge and education at the push of a button.
  • this may save the user considerable stress and uncertainty when addressing childhood developmental and parenting issues.
  • the system may provide carers with more time and a greater understanding in relation to their child.
  • the present invention provides the ability for the interactive media to the output in voice, text, audio or video format.
  • the software for use in the method of the present invention may provide a non linear learning process where the user can quickly navigate to answers that they request driven by the users inquisitive mind. This is a considerable advance over the linear methodology of reading that has previously been used. Due to the real time ability of the internet, users around the world may access the interactive software and parenting related questionnaires and quizzes to assist in providing answers and information in relation to relevant issues related to the parenting of children and adolescents. The ability to provide selected information tailored to the categories of interest to the user enables a greatly increased learning experience for the user. Further, the method of the present invention enables users quickly to find relevant information within a large volume of related information.
  • a software package may be used to record a child's development by allowing a user to check off selected milestones and record the date on which the selected milestones are checked off. If desired, the software package may provide a report of the child's development chronology that may be of use to a child's doctor in assessing the child or simply be of historical interest.
  • FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the operation of a software program in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a flow chart depicting one embodiment of the present invention.
  • an animated introduction (1) is run. Following the animated introduction (1) the user is presented with a main menu (2).
  • the main menu (2) requests the user to provide information relating to the subject's age. Where the subject's age may be sufficiently identified with one selection, the user is taken to a confirmation screen (4) alternatively, where the subject's age is not sufficiently identified by the selection made at the main menu (2) a submenu (3) such as an infants section may be employed to obtain further information in retrospect of the subject's age.
  • the confirmation screen (4) may ask the user to provide additional information relating to general areas of interest such as age milestones, concerns and problems and parenting tips.
  • the user may be directed to further selection screens (5), (6), (7).
  • the user may identify information categories of interest and an automated process may select age-specific information in the categories of interest and provide the selected information to the user as shown in output (8).
