1. A method of tracking the progress of at least one student in a class course, the method comprising:
- providing a computer network including a school computing system and at least one student computer connected by a communication link;
storing data in said school computing system relating to a course;
generating at least one course graphic representative of the course;
transmitting information relating to performance of course activities from said at least one student computer to said school computing system via said communication link;
storing data in said school computing system relating to the progress of at least one student in the course based upon said transmitted information; and
generating at least one progress graphic representative of the progress of said at least one student in the course;
wherein said at least one student comprises a plurality of students, and at least one of said plurality of students comprises a fabricated student.
