HOLISTIC ACADEMIC SYSTEM FOR INDEPENDENT TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

摘要

A holistic academic system that provides a network-based service to which any number of teachers and students may subscribe independent of any school. An independent student refers to a person who desires to take a class that is not necessarily under the control or direction of a school. An independent teacher refers to a person who desires to teach a class that is not necessarily under the control or direction of a school. When a person subscribes to the holistic academic system as an independent teacher, the holistic academic system may verify that the person is qualified before allowing the person to offer and/or teach a class. The holistic academic system may verify the person's qualifications each time the person offers to teach a new class or a class on a subject that is outside of their verified area of expertise. A teacher's qualifications may be manually verified by a representative of the holistic academic system and/or automatically verified by the holistic academic system against one or more public or private data sources.
