A system of computers, storage, and networks coordinates that monitors, records, and manages actions among participants with interdependent roles, in a dynamic, process-based learning system is provided. Participants in a collaborative social network acquire information and use a variety of rich interactive applications that guide them through an iterative learning process. Once validated, participants are matched according to selectable, configurable criteria. Once matched, a participant selects a subject or content, is able to integrate and extend knowledge through access to related material or people, uses tools to collaborate with other validated members of the network, and shares written correspondence with them. Using input from correspondence and content, another participant then submits correspondence back through the moderator for release, modification, or denial and return to the originator.
