Abstract: A system and method for presenting a student user a modularized course via a network, such as the Internet. The course is segmented into modules. A course preferably includes the following categories of modules: preparatory, lecture, interactive and test. Alternate embodiments of the present invention provide users, professors and teachers with an interface by which they can search modules by topic or subject matter. The system of such embodiments identifies modules related to the topic or subject matter being searched. Having identified the modules, the users, professors and teachers can select some or all of the identified modules and rearrange such modules into a new course. The new course may be stored in the system and offered as a separate course to students. Accordingly, the system allows new, customized courses to be created from existing courses.
