[Year 12 IT Apps] CMS on networked computers

[Brendyn Hancock]

I like this idea. I'm going to think about this a bit more.

 

I have thought about this in ref to our year 9 web subject but had not
given it any thought re VCE. The question being, do the kids need to
know how to make a page in dreamweaver/html anymore?

 

Just bye the bye. I wonder how other subjects would feel/survive (eg.
maths) if they had to justify themselves every 6mnth and were only
allowed to teach what was relevant and what was actually useful for
students?

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] CMS on networked computers

 

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.
