Pembroke Pines, Fla. - Mar. 21, 2006 -The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted LearningSoft LLC, a hand-held computing and assessment company, Patent No. 6,988,096. Entitled "Adaptive Content Delivery System And Method," the patent covers the company's proprietary Learningtrac adaptive assessment system.

Learningtrac uses artificial intelligence to optimize assessment and test preparation for individual students' strengths and weaknesses. The system uses a student's own knowledge base, learning patterns and measures of attention to the material to continually adapt curriculum content to the student's needs and spur skill development. Educators are able to monitor individual student assessments as well as the entire classroom progress.

"Learningtrac took more than three years and $3 million to develop," said David Cole, CEO of LearningSoft. "It is by far the most sophisticated and complex technology in our portfolio, and acquiring patent protection as we productize this core asset is an important part of our growth strategy."

In late 2006, Learningtrac will enter LearningSoft's product line integrated into its Indigo Learning System, which is debuting at the 2006 Florida Educational Technology Conference. The system is currently being piloted in Hawaii.
