See http://www.courseforum.com/ . This is a commercial web application (free version also available) developed by [Mark Roseman], which was briefly described during Mark's keynote at the [Ninth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference]. Think of it as a cross between a Wiki environment and a discussion group, but targeted specifically at educational users. Lots of advanced features but emphasizing ease of use and ease of deployment. Based on [Tcl], [incr Tcl], [Metakit], [Starkit], [procomp], etc. etc. etc. etc. There is also a non-educational version available, for work group use, project management, etc. See [ProjectForum]. Application is currently at release 6.4 . ---- [unperson] I like Mark Roseman's forum series in TCL. I am a big fan actually (even though I know Mark was never a fan of mine; it's ok :-) a lot of my foes are brilliant; I am flattered). I love the concepts, the colours (blue and yellow), the ideas, the simplicity and of course the language used, TCL. [CourseForum] is useful to anyone who wants to set up a curriculum on Internet. You want to teach a subject? Anything? Get a copy of Course Forum, open a site and you're all set. Actually you can teach any number of subjects one course at a time... Course Forum provides all that is needed to teach a course: a list of lectures, instructions, procedures... Keep it up [Mark Roseman], keep the good ideas flowing! Wish you lots of success... ---> http://demo.courseforum.com/admin/directory.html PS: For the record, Mark is the first programmer: - To have coded a function that lets a user create a page on a wiki by clicking on "New Page" - To have coded a function that enables a user to generate a new wiki on the fly (the new course in Course Forum) ---- [LV] How certain are you of these firsts? Perhaps he is the first one you have found? [unperson] Perhaps! And I am also the first one to mention it! :-) <> Application | Internet | Groupware
