         8 . A method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein storing a mark includes applying a scheme to map a response to a mark. 
     
     
         9 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein storing the interaction includes storing a history. 
     
     
         10 . A method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein storing a history includes storing at least one of a transcript and a personalization. 
     
     
         11 . A method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein storing a transcript includes storing at least one of a transcript of real interactions and a transcript of virtual interactions. 
     
     
         12 . A method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein storing a personalization includes storing at least one of an annotation and a collaboration. 
     
     
         13 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising reviewing the interaction. 
     
     
         14 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising supervising the interaction. 
     
     
         15 . A method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising auditing the interaction. 
     
     
         16 . A method as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein auditing includes at least one of auditing the performance of the interaction and auditing the propriety of the interaction. 
     
     
         17 . A manufacture such as a storage medium, a signal, a processing apparatus or a processing system, encoded with processor-readable instructions for directing a processor to perform a method of managing an interaction of a student with a class about a subject, the subject having at least one lesson having at least one topic, the topic having at least one of exposition content, demonstration content and test content, the test content having a query and a scheme for mapping a response to a result, comprising:
 a) presenting content to the student, and   b) storing the interaction of the student with the content presented.   
     
     
         18 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein presenting content further includes at least one of projecting and broadcasting the exposition content. 
     
     
         19 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein presenting content further includes at least one of projecting, broadcasting and distributing the demonstration content. 
     
     
         20 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein presenting content further includes at least one of projecting, broadcasting and for a predetermined time distributing the test content. 
     
     
         21 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein storing the interaction includes storing a metric. 
     
     
         22 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 21 , wherein storing the metric includes storing at least one of a usage and a result. 
     
     
         23 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 22 , wherein storing a result includes at least one of storing a response and a mark. 
     
     
         24 . A manufacture as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein storing a mark includes applying a scheme to map a response to a mark.
