The method can include registering a plurality of users in a database, presenting educational material to a user of the plurality of users, recording the performance of the user in regards to the educational material, collecting personal statistics regarding the performance of the user, compiling the personal statistics for the plurality of users to generate community statistics regarding the performance of the plurality of users, comparing the personal statistics of a user to the community statistics or to a subset thereof, collecting personal information from each user of the plurality of users, subdividing the plurality of users into a plurality of communities based on the personal information of each user, facilitating interactions between the users within a community of the plurality of communities, and generating a credibility score for each user within the community. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented system for education including community-sourced data and community interactions, comprising: a database, capable of storing a plurality of user account information, a plurality of user profile information, a plurality of education materials, a plurality of user generated information, a plurality of user specific answer data, and a plurality of user interaction data, and statistical data derived from other data in the database; a data analyzer; a plurality of functional modules, including a study module, a practice exam module, and an education module, capable of interacting with the database by providing data to a user and recording data from a user; and a community interaction module, capable of recording user generated content and allowing at least one response from a plurality of users. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, wherein the system is operable to analyze user specific data to create a credibility score. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The computer-implemented system of claim 2, wherein the credibility score can affect data accessibility and interaction accessibility of a user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, wherein the system is operable to compare data in the database and create community groups and or subgroups based on the comparison. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, wherein each module has a dashboard or user interface capable of user specific or general displaying of data, receiving of user generated data, and displaying of data analysis. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, further comprising a purchasing control through a module for purchasing education material, such as courses, study questions, exams, or practice exams. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, further comprising a sending utility for sending scores automatically or manually to a governing body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The computer-implemented system of claim 7, wherein the governing body is a professional organization, educational institution, or government agency. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, wherein the user can be a business and the business can create a business account and business profile that can be displayed through a module. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented system of claim 1, wherein the system is operable to generate and display a momentum score based on user data. ### Claim 11 A computer-implemented method for education including community-sourced data and community interactions, comprising: providing a database capable of storing a plurality of user account information, a plurality of user profile information, a plurality of education materials, a plurality of user generated information, a plurality of user specific answer data, and a plurality of user interaction data, and statistical data derived from other data in the database; registering a plurality of users in the database; providing a plurality of functional or community interaction modules; presenting educational material to a user of the plurality of users or providing for interaction among users through a module; recording responses and performance of the user through the module; analyzing recorded data from the plurality of users; and generating and displaying data and results of data analysis. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising creating a user specific credibility score based on the analyzing of recorded data. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The computer-implemented method of claim 12, further comprising controlling data and interaction accessibility of a user based on the user specific credibility score. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising comparing data in the database and creating community groups and subgroups based on the comparison. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising providing a dashboard or user interface for each module capable of user specific or general displaying of data, receiving of user generated data, and displaying of data analysis. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising providing a purchasing control through a module for purchasing education material, such as courses, study questions, exams, or practice exams. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising sending scores automatically or manually to a governing body. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer-implemented method of claim 17, wherein the governing body is a professional organization, educational institution, or government agency. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising allowing a business as a user, allowing the business to generate a business account and business profile, and allowing the profile to be displayed and accessed through a module. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising generating and displaying a momentum score based on user data.
