Method and system for online teaching using Web pages

A teaching and learning method and system ( 143, 145, 147, 148, 152 ) communicates exercises, including URL's of Web pages and questions related thereto. Each exercise is distributed by the teacher's computer ( 143 ), synchronously, or downloaded by a student computer ( 147 ), asynchronously. An indicator ( 129 ) used on the Web page of one computer can be viewed on the same Web page displayed on the other computers. Responses are processed by the response server ( 145 ) and by comparison and evaluation logic, and displayed contemporaneously on the teacher's computer, together with scoring information ( 105, 106 ) and with URL's ( 107 ) associated with links used on each student computer. Scores are awarded automatically, or arbitrarily by clicking on the screen ( 105 ) of the teacher's computer. A feedback signal ( 80 ) may appear on the student computer with each keystroke to indicate its correctness. Responses selected on the teacher's computer may viewed on the student computers or on a Class Display ( 171 ).
