Abstract: Methods and systems for assembling remote students in an online academic environment are provided. The method includes a use of the system to filter a subpopulation from a population stored in a database, the population including students in the self-paced, online environment. The subpopulation can be selected to meet a first set of criteria for a grouping of students for a group interaction. Additional criteria can be added to provide control over the selection of students for the subpopulation and, thus, control over the design of groups to provide a desired group profile for the group interaction. The methods and systems provided can align and group students of the self-paced, online environment for a group interaction, as well as electronically proctor and otherwise monitor and control the interaction.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assembling remote workers in an online corporate environment are provided. The method includes a use of the system to filter a subpopulation from a population stored in a database, the population including members in the self-paced, online environment. The subpopulation can be selected to meet a first set of criteria for a grouping of members for a group interaction. Additional criteria can be added to provide control over the selection of members for the subpopulation and, thus, control over the design of groups to provide a desired group profile for the group interaction. The methods and systems provided can align and group members of the self-paced, online environment for a group interaction, as well as electronically proctor and otherwise monitor and control the interaction.
