[Year 12 IT Apps] Joomla

[Howard, David]

Hi Royce and Ken,

I would think that Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress plus others, would fall under the category of "Content Management Systems" rather than "Web Authoring Software" as the VCAA study design prescribes. Paula maybe the one to seek clarification from though!

Hi Royce,

Are you intending to use Joomla to have students create websites  and web applications as part of their assessment, or are you planning to use it to help you manage other assessment tasks that you develop for students to complete?

If the former, it's got a lot of capability and would do pretty much anything a student would want, but I can't comment on whether it meets curriculum requirements (I'm sure others here wil know this though)

If the latter, it's probably not the tool to use, you'd be better with an LMS. Though it could be made to achieve something useful.

Hi
As I am back teaching again and at new school and a new course I have work to do :-(

This college has Joomla installed.
Now I am playing with this for my outside interests. So using it would be good.
Has anyone used it for assessment tasks at yr 12 . Is it acceptable.
