Abstract
System and method for an improved training system implemented over a network of computers such as the Internet. The improved training system enables an administrator of a training program to implement a program that includes content targeted to the users, continual monitoring of a user'"'"'s performance, and direct communications with the users based on performance. System and method defines reference content and actionable content (such as tests) that are accessible to users based upon security access parameters. The performance of a user'"'"'s response to actionable content is tracked and monitored so that future content can be tailored to a user'"'"'s performance.
