I wouldn't know PERL, PYTHON or PHP if it fell on me BUT:<br><br>I taught in Queensland for a couple of years and ran classes at 8-10 (students were in Learning Units with 8 + 9 + 10s) with lots of different things running - giving choices to students. I used a 'points' system to encourage students to do LOTS. The points scored were related to the grade they achieved at the end of the semester. Not too sure how this would work under ... VELS!
<br><br>I found and wrote a wide range of resources and students used these and they taught each other. I used freeware stuff where possible and websites. There is LOTS more availbale now and these Edulists are also a great source of inspiration and sharing. Some things I NEVER learnt myself - the students helped each other and did some great things. It was probably the best teaching I ever did.
