An online educational system for learning the core subjects of mathematics, social science, the sciences and English in a supportive curriculum via a universal learning design model is provided. The system breaks each subject down into sub-modules and bundles the courses for the sub-module, allowing a user to logically progress therethrough, although the user can select courses in any desired order. Each course is presented in visual, audio-visual or audio only fashion and can include sign language and text to speech functions. A user can take electronic notes within a course, can user portions of a course to create a POWERPOINT-type presentation for others, and can e-mail a teacher for questions with content specific information inserted into the e-mail to the teacher to provide specific subject matter content.
