Hi Folks,

 

 A tip I just received today that may be related to choosing a CMS.

We USE Microsoft Share point as a CMS for our Intranet.

 

It works well for students to access and submit work and access other  files
and public information.  Staff use it for Daily extras and excursion
information as well.

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_stud
y.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.
