Systems and methods for creating and using a cognitive index, selectively providing objects from the index, and organizing information to generate questions contextually relevant to the information associated with the index. A computer device is used to create a cognitive index that includes various objects and/or information that may be selectively related. The index further includes one or more conceptual nodes that may be related to one or more associated nodes through one or more expressions. Each associated node may include objects and/or information relating thereto, which may be selectively and/or automatically provided from the index. The objects and/or information associated with the index may be used to provide information requested and/or to generate questions contextually relevant to the information associated with the index.

A method and system for computerizing authoring, learning, and evaluation is provided. The computerized system comprises a central processing unit and related memory and storage capacity to operate an authoring, learning, and evaluation system stored in a computer program. The authoring, learning, and evaluation system comprises an authoring portion and a presentation portion. Through the use of intuitive interface elements, the authoring portion allows an author to quickly and easily construct a lesson from a pool of relevant data. Data can be organized into objects or concepts that are related to one another in a reasoned fashion so that coherent testing of the data, as presented to a user, may be achieved.
