This can be done in combination with WP-Filebase plugin and Members plugin.
This is a proposed solution:
– Install Members plugin http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/members/
– Install WP-Filebase plugin http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-filebase/
– Create a new User Role from the Dashboard / Users / Add New Role and give it a name like Course1 (or whatever you like corresponding to a specific course).
– Set all students that learn this course to that role.
– Create a new WP-Filebase category from Dashboard / WP-Filebase / categories. Give it a similar name (like Course1). Set access permissions only to the newly created role, so that students that learn this course to be able to have access.
– Set attribute uploadpath of the WordPress File Upload plugin to be uploadpath=”/uploads/filebase/course1″ so that when the lecturer uploads files they will go to that folder.
– Link WP-Filebase plugin with a specific page of your website to be the file library. Then, whenever a student logs in your website and goes to that page, he will have access only to the course files belonging to the specific role and will be able to download them.
You can follow the same procedure for as many courses you want.
This is a bit complicated procedure, however it is effective.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks.
I think I got it right, I need to some more checking to be sure.
I have some more questions:
1. How I can translate the plugins to my language?
2. Do I need s2member plugin if I using the method you wrote?, this plugin very complicated and I having troubles with.
3. Student can access only one course with his user name and I need to define each student?, I can make him access more then one course (folder)?
4. How I define lecturer ? I create new role with the courses he teach and give him capability to upload files or just the admin can do it?
5. I need to give the student the link to where he can download his files?
6. I did not understand this part “Set attribute uploadpath of the WordPress File Upload plugin to be uploadpath=”/uploads/filebase/course1″ so that when the lecturer uploads files they will go to that folder”
7. There is option that student can access all the course even if he do not learn them, so it is not necessary to denied access but I still be needed to make folder for each course, this make procedure more esay?
I believe I will have more questions, but this is the ones I think of now.
P.S.
Can we continue the discussion on private by emails?
please send me an email to [email protected] because i do not have your email…
