A computer-aided learning method and apparatus for a learning user to learn materials inexpensively. Not only does the apparatus provide the user the freedom as to where and when to learn, and the guidance as to what to learn, the apparatus also reduces a significant hurdle to learning—money. The apparatus retrieves a user identifier entered by the user, and determines whether the user is a learning user or an institute user. If the user is a learning user, the apparatus allows the user to access information regarding learning materials. If the user is an institute user, the apparatus permits the user to access information regarding at least one learning user. The institute user might be interested to use the apparatus to recruit employees to fill job openings. A learning user pays significantly less than an institute user to access information, so as to encourage the learning user to work on learning materials. The apparatus can also track and update information regarding the users. |

1. A computing apparatus comprising:
a first computing device; and a networked storage device accessible at least via a network,
the networked storage device coupled to the first computing device, andthe networked storage device to have stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
receive, via a web server, a web request from a user using a second computing device to access a first set of materials via a network that includes the Internet, the web request including a user identifier identifying the user, and a service identifier at least indicating to access the first set of materials;track at least some of the user's usage of the first set of materials, including accessing the first set of materials; andreceive, via a web server, a web request from a first entity using a third computing device to access information regarding the tracked user's usage of the first set of materials, via a network that includes the Internet, the web request including a user identifier identifying the first entity, and a service identifier at least indicating to access the information regarding the tracked user's usage of the first set of materials;wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the apparatus to:
send advertising materials regarding the first entity via a network that includes the Internet, to the second computing device to be presented; andcause the generating of an accounting record to charge the first entity so as to allow the first entity to access at least some of the information regarding the tracked user's usage of the first set of materials. |
