Another useful education CMS is 'moodle'. I'm using it here: http://www.liamalexander.com/moodle Despite all its wonderful features (e.g. you can write online tests with 'hot potatoes', students log in and it marks them for you: cool or what!), I have to admit I haven't been using it much lately. The bulletin board I installed proved much more popular with students: http://www.liamalexander.com/computing/forum/ (Simple Machines Forum) Perhaps they just find it easier to use. I like it because I can post notes, assignments etc., use word attachments or whatever types I allow and get my stuff up there with a minmum of fuss. Both these systems are completely free, need a server with php installed and a SQL database. Links to the install sites are at the bottom of the pages.
