<br>
I have been running Drupal and Moodle on a local computer using the MoWes
software for some time, as a development environment.<br>
<br>
The MoWes (Mobile Webserver) lets you bundle the CMS and LMS along with the
server stuff they need to run ( Apache, MySQL, PHP etc) on a student computer,
or USB drive or external hard drive. The students can then have complete admin
ability over their own installation. If you do it with a USB stick or external
hard drive, their applications AND their data (the actual web site) all live on
the device and can be taken home and worked on.<br>
<br>
There are several similar environments that do the same thing but I've found
MoWes to be the easiest to use as the whole install is one zip file.<br>
<br>
This (to me anyway) seems a better alternative to trying to manage a school
server with multiple CMS and LMS installations for students. Plus it is
accessible from home. Kids just need a $10 USB drive. MoWes is free.<br>
<br>
It has the disadvantage that each student's installation is local so they can't
have a classroom-wide wiki. Actually they probably could with some
configuration but as soon as things start to travel on school networks there is
a security etc risk to be considered. <br>
<br>
Oh - there were some people who had problems with using MoWes when Skype is
running - this can be fixed by terminating Skype, though I just noticed with my
latest install that it seems to work OK with Skype now.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>
Ken<br>

A CMS is far more meaningful for modern websites, especially community-based,
interactive sites like wikis, forums and blogs. Less simulation will be
required, for a start.<br>
