A method for designating questions and answers in a computer-networked self-study system also lends itself to discriminating certain portions of a larger work for use in conjunction with other systems requiring text discrimination in a selectable manner. When a student wants to add an additional question and answer couple to a self-study system, both the question and answer are highlighted: the question in one color and the answer in another. The text is then scanned in to a computer in a manner that preserves the color information. The highlighted text is then subject to extraction and decolorization with the distinctions present in the text afforded by the different colors preserved. The text may then be subject to optical character recognition (OCR) or the like. The question portion is then used to supply a question to a student. Any answer given by the student during a study session is compared to the answer previously indicated by highlighting. The method herein is also effective with regards to testing (indicating the correct answer) and forms (for information gathering). Additionally, other subject matter other than text, such as graphics, may be made subject to the present system. Additionally, any detectable marking means may be used that conforms to the operation of the present invention.
