[Year 12 IT Apps] Joomla

[Davies, Brett]

The code created by a web developer using web development software is wrapped around the script or CMS.

The CMS gives the site functionality with pre written code. It is the html/css that gives the site its design.

Here we design the site in Fireworks, slice the site up and create the static site in Dreamweaver then create the Joomla template by inserting the Joomla code into the html we have created in Dreamweaver.

I would be interested to hear where those of you who think that web development software is not used to create some of those beautiful Joomla sites, think those templates come from?

But are they mutually exclusive?  A CMS like Joomla produces webpages, so it can also be classed as web authoring software.  Just because it's in a class called CMS doesn't mean it can't belong to other classes.

I feel a Venn diagram coming on...

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.

ken,

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.

I heard that not as many women are getting Brasilians nowadays.
Does this mean that waxing is waning?
