System and method for sharing content

1. A method for completing a project using a content-generating device, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors associated with a learning management system, a task defining a content item to be generated in connection with the project, wherein the task is defined by a first user;

causing, by the one or more processors associated with the learning management system, operation of at least a first component of the content-generating device to be restricted;

receiving, by the one or more processors associated with the learning management system, the content item, wherein the content item was generated in connection with a second user's use of at least a second component of the content-generating device;

making, by the one or more processors associated with the learning management system, available the generated content item, wherein the generated content item is made available after a predefined period of time has lapsed since the content item was received, the predefined period of time lapsing when the one or more processors receive an interaction generated in connection with a third user's use of at least a third component of the content-generating device;

receiving an indication from the first user as to whether to accept the generated content item; and

in response to receiving the indication to accept the generated content item, permitting access to the generated content by a plurality of other users associated with the project.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least first component is operable to access pre-existing content items and wherein causing operation of the at least first component to be restricted prevents data access to the prior content.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein restriction of operation of the least first component of the content-generation device is ended after making available the generated content item.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the task for generating the content item comprises receiving a type of the content item to be generated; and

wherein the at least second component of the content-generating device is chosen based on the type of the content item to be generated.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type is chosen from one of text, sound, video, and still image.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to generating a first provisional content item, prompting for acceptance of the generated first content item;

receiving a response indicating acceptance of the first content item or non-acceptance of the first provisional content item;

in response to receiving the non-acceptance response of the first provisional content item, operating the at least second component to generate a second content item; and

wherein the first provisional content item is made available as the generated content item to a project management server, in response to receiving the response indicating acceptance.

7. A method for sharing of content items generated within a current project, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors associated with a learning management system, a first response from a first non-instructor user, the response having a project identifier and a first generated content item, the first non-instructor user being associated to the project identifier, wherein the first generated content item was generated in connection with use of a first component of a content-generating device at a time when operation of a second component of the content-generating device was restricted;

making, by one or more processors associated with the learning management system; available the first generated content item to an instructor user associated to the project identifier, wherein the generated content item is made available after a predefined period of time has lapsed since the content item was received, the predefined period of time lapsing when the one or more processors receive an interaction from a second non-instructor user,

receiving, by one or more processors associated with the learning management system, from the instructor user a first approbation response indicating approval or non-approval of the first content item;

in response to receiving the first approbation response indicating approval of the first content item, making, by one or more processors associated with the learning management system, available the first generated content item to at least the second non-instructor user associated to the project identifier.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving from the instructor user evaluation data for the generated content item; and

making available the evaluation to the first non-instructor user.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

in response to receiving the first approbation response indicating non-approval of the first content item, transmitting to the first non-instructor user a project completion request for generating at least one additional content item.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a second response from the second non-instructor user associated to the project identifier, the response having the project identifier and a second content item;

making available the received second content item to the instructor user associated to the project identifier;

receiving from the instructor user a second approbation response indicating approval or non-approval of the second content item;

in response to receiving the second approbation response indicating approval of the second content item, making available the second content item to at least the first non-instructor user associated to the project identifier.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

searching for at least one external project relevant to the current project;

making available to at least one of the first non-instructor user and the second non-instructor user at least one content item generated for the at least one external project.

12. The method of claim 7 , making available the first content item to the instructor user associated to the project identifier comprises transmitting the received content item to the instructor user, wherein the transmitting of the content item is delayed by a predetermined duration of time after receiving the first content item.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the given type associated to the project identifier is chosen from one of text, sound, video, and still image.
