    Abstract: A system for delivering e-learning in ways that support many of the teaching and learning practices of interactive classroom training through electronic interactions. In a first aspect, an embodiment provides Dynamic Learning Groups, i.e., peer groups of students who will have social learning interactions as they go through a course. These groups can be used to provide fine-grained access control to student-generated content. In a second aspect, an embodiment provides Dynamic Mentor Groups which enable mentoring (i.e., “teaching”) interactions between students and defined sets of mentors or teachers. In a third aspect, an embodiment provides Structured Notes Management which allows users to make notes in situ as they go through a course, and have those notes presented back to them in structured forms that summarize their notes in a graphical presentation that both captures their notes and reinforces the key learnings of the course.
