METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AND DELIVERING CUSTOMIZED EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT

A parent provides information regarding a child and other family members to a system. The information is then used to create customized assemblages of linear and interactive media, which may be further personalized for that child's entertainment and education. The customized and personalized episode so assembled persists and can be replayed indefinitely. New episodes are created regularly (e.g., daily), and can be based on the child's age, preferences, and performance while experiencing previous episodes. Scheduled events (e.g., birthdays, starting school), local current events (e.g., weather), the current situation (e.g., current location, time of day), etc. may also influence the creation of new episodes. While monitoring the child's progress, the system provides to a parent suggestions for activities related to the child's recent episodes.
