Claim:
1. A learning management system to control and monitor on-line educational content, the system comprising: a learning system having at least one processor, the learning system being configured to authenticate a plurality of geographically dispersed remote student workstations located in a plurality of regions and to display region-specific learning environments for delivery of digital course instructional material to the plurality of authenticated geographically dispersed remote student workstations, the region-specific learning environments including the digital course instructional material of one digital course and digital course messages between the plurality of students enrolled in the digital course, wherein each learning environment displays a respective user interface on a remote student workstation located in one region of the plurality of regions; a database that stores a region profile for each of the plurality of geographically dispersed remote student workstations, wherein the at least one region profile contains information specifying requirements associated with communication of the instructional material and the messages between a first region and another second region, wherein each region profile is resolved based on analysis of communication of the respective student and based on an IP address of the remote student workstations; and a networking service communicatively coupled to the database and in communication with the learning system, the networking service being configured to communicate the instructional material and the messages amongst the geographically dispersed remote student workstations located in the plurality of regions in accordance with the region profile, the networking service including a connection layer module that is configured to restrict geographically dispersed remote student workstations from interacting in the region-specific learning environments based on region profile information of the geographically dispersed remote student workstations, wherein the restriction is based on the specified requirements and wherein the restriction is created by the system to i) block two or more students enrolled in the digital course from viewing each other, ii) prevent communication of messages between a first student in a first course and a second student in a second course or between a first student in a first region and a second student in a second region, and iii) prevent the first student from seeing the second student, and wherein the profile information includes age of the students in the geographical location.
