A system for providing content such as educational, informational, or learning content that is obtained from the Internet and disseminated via the Internet to a user. The content is culled from the vast amount of content accessible via the Internet according to various user profiles. The content may be filtered and formatted as appropriate for the user according to the various user profiles. Content may be gathered and disseminated in response to a predetermined learning plan, or on the fly via a user configurable GUI. The content may also be coordinated and indexed to each users profile. A profile is interactively developed from the individual, stored in a relational database, and continuously updated from an individual's learning results. The educational material is converted into contemporary, multi-tiered object oriented content utilizing Internet browser technology (i.e. HTML, VRML, HTTP/IIOP, Visual Basic, Active X, XML, RDF, Java-script, etc.) and integrated to the presentation level (provided to the user) using object oriented technology and standards (e.g. OODBMS, Java, SQL, Oracle, CORBA, OLE, COM, etc.). Content may be provided by third parties, in addition to the free content on the Internet, on a fee basis. The content is linked to the various profiles, while the object-oriented fabric serves to provide the filtered and formatted content to the user as appropriate.
