INSTRUCTIONS & ACTIVITIES

PRODUCT FEATURES

1. HOW THE INTELLI-SYSTEM WORKS

For all of our Artificial Intelligence Learning™Series units, we have created a

unique Intelli-System, which aims to help you learn as much as possible, in a way

that is best suited to you.

How does the system work? As you play, the Intelli-System is always running,

and keeping track of how you do in each individual subject. After you’ve completed

enough games, the Intelli-System has enough information to guide your learning:

it knows when you should switch to another subject, which level of an activity is

best for you, and which subjects you could use more work on. Simply put, the

Intelli-System teaches you what you need to learn.

2. LEARNING MODES

In the Compact Notebook, you can choose from 3 different learning modes:

- Menu Mode

- Intelli-Challenge

- Adventure

MENU MODE - YOU CONTROL THE ACTION!

Pick the games and subjects you want to explore! How about Word games? Math

games? Or would you like Social Studies or Science? Check out the Main Menu

to get started.

INTELLI-CHALLENGE - WATCH THE INTELLI-SYSTEM WORK!

In this learning mode, the Intelli-System takes over and challenges you with all

kinds of different subjects and questions. You can choose from Fun Mode and

Challenge Mode.

FUN MODE

This mode is best when you want to relax and have some fun. The Intelli-System

will choose questions for you on subjects you’ve done particularly well in, or from

games that you have played often and enjoy most.

CHALLENGE MODE

Now you’re in for a real challenge! The Intelli-System will test you with questions

from a subject area that may not be as familiar to you, and in which you could

use a little practice.

To access the Intelli-Challenge, press the key on the keyboard or select

Intelli-Challenge from the Main Menu.

INSTRUCTIONS & ACTIVITIES

ADVENTURE - RESCUE ANIMALS IN A JUNGLE ADVENTURE!

All the jungle animals were living quite peacefully together, when one day, a hunter
