Learning Research, Inc. Unveils Inaugural Product


AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)--

eDoorways International Corporation (Pink Sheets: EDWY) announced today that its subsidiary Learning Research Inc has completed the design of an initial product that the Company expects to deliver within approximately 90 days. This product will demonstrate the various aspects of LRI's technology that delivers adaptive learning courses and "intelligent agent" tutors to Apple's (News - Alert) suite of mobile devices. Specifically, it will include the following:

eDoorways SmartONE. This artificial intelligence (A.I.) adaptive learning technology, inherited from eDoorways, will drive your entire learning experience. Under SmartONE's guidance, a learning/tutor mobile app will automatically assess then adapt to individualized learning styles. Users can thus focus only on the specific subject matter they need to learn in the manner they can best learn it, bypassing areas that they already know or teaching styles that don't work for them.

Speech Recognition System (SRS) and Natural language understanding (NLU). The app must understand what users mean when they interact with it via voice. We will use the same cloud-based SRS that powers Apple's Siri technology coupled with our own NLU to extract meaning from the resulting text. And, just like Siri, we will include an underlying conversational agent that can handle anything the user says, even it if cannot be properly interpreted within the learning context (just like Siri can respond to fun questions like "What's the meanin of life?"). So you will be able to chat with the app just as you would with a human tutor.



Cloud-based Server. All of the above will be placed on cloud-based servers that can efficiently deliver the optimal sequence of multimedia learning elements (video, audio, photos, verbal question/answers, tests, etc.) under SmartONE's control to the app running on your iPhone (News - Alert), iPad, or iPod Touch.

Demonstration iOS App. As our LRI programmers assemble the above platform, our on-staff artists and content specialists will choose and convert conventional educational content from a sample domain into a specific app that delivers a compelling learning experience. This initial demo app should be something everyone can relate to - perhaps a personal trainer or nutritionist that teaches (or reminds) you how to improve your body and health? Just chat with the app as it asks a few initial questions, then listen, watch, and learn as it guides you through what you need to know, just as you would with a human tutor. On our website blog (www.LearningResearchInc.com/blog.html), we would love to hear your ideas about what subject a demo app might cover - if you could have the advice of any expert always available via an iPhone app, whose and what sort of advice would you cherish?


In summary, the Learning Research Inc. team has left port and set sail on its maiden voyage, and we would love your help in determining a specific landfall. As always, we will be reporting milestones via these news releases and our blog so that you can track our progress and provide feedback.
