[Year 12 IT Apps] CMS on networked computers

[Mark KELLY]

Hi all. I'm seriously thinking about ditching Dreamweaver for a CMS for U3O1
next year.

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.

The minimum features list says the required skills for webpage editing (
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vcaa/correspondence/bulletins/2010/July/vce_study.html#2)
are:

   - cascading style sheet
   - edit and format content
   - links (relative and absolute links, internal and external links)
   - navigation
   - buttons
   - screen layout
   - tagging (metadata tags, alt tags)
   - forms
   - incorporate images/sound

and all of these appear in a CMS, as far as I can tell.

So the big question is: has anyone successfully put a CMS like Joomla or
Moodle onto locked-down school computers for student use?

I'd like to hear about it.

Regards
Mark

For no reason, my friend became a square, flat surface with four legs. I
rushed him to hospital. His condition is table.
