Learning system and method that displays activity streams based on student contacts

摘要

A learning management system and method delivers an instructional material to a student workstation after authenticating an student's entry into a learning session that is associated with a plurality of contacts. Stored electronic addresses in a database include a first electronic address that is associated with a first contact and a second electronic address that is associated with a second contact. The first contact is associated with the learning session and the second contact is not associated with the learning session. A first activity stream associated with the first contact and a second activity stream associated with the second contact is selectively displayed to the student such that upon detection of student's entry into the learning session, the first activity stream is displayed without displaying the second activity stream and the second activity stream is displayed upon detection of student's exit from the learning session either with displaying the first activity stream or without displaying the first activity stream.
