<p>I'm a bit late coming to this conversation, but I was thinking of using Drupalgarden or Wordpress, I think they might meet the criteria for this outcome. I haven't tried Yola or Weebly. The Study Design describes authoring software being

<p class="MsoNormal">Weebly is probably the easiest thing around if students were creating, say, an online help site. ie if the focus was the content and not the creation. If you were looking to focus on actual web design then I use Kompozer, it's FOSS, super
easy to use and deceptively powerful with just a little css/html/javascript knowledge. It also contains none of the ExpressionWeb/Dreamweaver extras that I never use anyway<br>
