HIERARCHICAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LEARNERS IN A MODULAR LEARNING SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for establishing hierarchical relationships between learning users. Learning applications are stored in the modular learning system and include metadata defining performance metrics. Performance measurements based on the performance metrics are also stored in the modular learning system, with each performance measurement associated with a learning user and a learning application. The modular learning system receives from a first learning user a request for tutoring by a second learning user. The modular learning system determines a relative ranking of the first and second learning users. If the second learning user is ranked higher, the system facilitates management of the requested tutoring by displaying the request to the second learning user and granting the second learning user access to a tutoring management interface. After the first user completes an application performance, the modular learning system revokes the access to the tutoring management interface.
