The Mobile Fact and Concept Textbook System (MoFaCTS) is an individualized online tutoring system designed to increase information comprehension and retention. It is being implemented in community college anatomy and physiology (A&P) courses for further system development. A&P was selected because it is a very challenging and highly in demand course. MoFaCTS was used to create Cloze (fill-in-the-blank) questions from the course text which students use to practice the course material. The system provides correction and feedback to the student, repeating questions to improve recall. The system also produces detailed progress reports for both faculty and students. A survey given to students showed a moderately positive impression of the systems, with A&P II students responding more positively on some survey items.
