Shared Concepts

This project is intended to be an adaptive learning tool with the main goal of teaching through exercises. These exercises are integrated in the structure of concepts that build on top of each other. For example, you have to know the basic structure of a neuron before you can understand how signals travel through neurological networks. After understanding neurological networks, you have the foundation for understanding how they can be manipulated through the use of medication or technically induced electrical voltage. This app should take these relationships into consideration while serving exactly those exercises that are needed to reach your goals.

Modeling Of Reality

Reality	How it is Modeled
Concept	Every concept can be the foundation of multiple other concepts. For example integrals are important for many different mathmetical and physical concepts.
Exercise	Every concept could potentially contain multiple exercises. Every exercise should only be related to its most specific concept. For example, an exercise about integration by substitution is only directed to the concept of integration by substitution and not to the concepts integration (in general) or math. Top level concepts like biology, physics and computer science should not have any exercises directly associated to them because each exercise should be related to a more specific concept.
User	Every user can choose exactly one concept to study at a time.
Experience	Every experience models how well a user has done on a specific exercise. The correctStreak tells how many times the user had success with the related exercise. lastTimeSeen is the date the user has seen the corresponding exercise.
