ZipLS is an educational software system that will be sold to schools and individuals. The software uses a drill and practice approach primarily aimed at rote memorization and problem solving. Current subjects include math facts, math problems, geography, spelling, and foreign language vocabulary.

ZipLS is a software based learning system which covers a range of subject matters including math facts, math problems, foreign language vocabulary, spelling, and geography.

The system integrates an artificial neural network, enabling the software to adapt to the learning patterns of the student resulting in fast, efficient learning.

ZipLS uses a serious-minded drill and practice approach providing an alternative to the typical “learning game” software.

Subjects are presented using different themes. For example, math facts are shown with a chalkboard theme, spelling words are presented using a notebook theme, and geography is depicted with a map theme.

The software includes an administration tool that can be used by a parent or teacher to add new students, customize system content, monitor a student’s progress, change lesson levels, set student grade level, and specify a time-delay between questions.
