1. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer implementable instructions, said instructions for causing a computer-based media access system to perform a method for providing curriculum enhancement, said method comprising:
- accessing a playlist assembly component using a computer system;
creating a playlist, said playlist indicating at least one instance of media;
accessing said playlist and selecting said instance of media; and
utilizing a usage compliance mechanism to control an output of said instance of media in accordance with a usage restriction, said usage compliance mechanism diverting a commonly used data output pathway of a media player application to a controlled data output pathway monitored by said compliance mechanism for every said instance of media, said usage compliance mechanism stopping or disrupting the delivery of said instance of media via said controlled data pathway when usage of said instance of media violates a usage restriction applicable to said instance of media.
