Hi all. I'm seriously thinking about ditching Dreamweaver for a CMS for U3O1 next year.<br><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>
<br>The minimum features list says the required skills for webpage editing (<a href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/correspondence/bulletins/2010/July/vce_study.html#2" target="_blank">http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/correspondence/bulletins/2010/July/vce_study.html#2</a>) are:<br>
<ul><li>cascading style sheet</li><li>edit and format content</li><li>links (relative and absolute links, internal and external links)</li><li>navigation</li><li>buttons</li><li>screen layout</li><li>
tagging (metadata tags, alt tags)</li><li>forms</li><li>incorporate images/sound</li></ul>and all of these appear in a CMS, as far as I can tell.<br><br>So the big question is: has anyone successfully put a CMS like Joomla or Moodle onto locked-down school computers for student use?<br>
<br>I'd like to hear about it.<br><br>Regards<br>Mark<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mark Kelly<br>Manager Information Systems<br>Reporting Manager<br>IT Learning Area Manager<br><br>McKinnon Secondary College<br>
