Hi, We are planning to choose a platform to build a portal for distance learning, with which we want to Build and Serve online multimedia courses, online exams, calendars, keep track of students work and results, forums, etc... I've got a list of criterias the platform must fill to be chosen, and at first glance Zope fills at least 90% of them, and probably more if I look more closely at the Zope products already available. This is a big project, and some people have already done some work using WebCT. I've read in the zope-edu wicki the comment on WebCT, I already know that many people (at least 35) are interested byt his subject because they are referenced as contributors in this wicki, so I naively conclude I'm right in thinking that Zope is the good choice for us. So I have to write a document explaining the pros (and cons) of choosing Zope, and I want some references of Zope uses in higher education if possible. Please could someone send me any testimonial on the (successful or not, and why) use of Zope in higher education, the products which might help us (we will at least need SquishDot, the LDAP adapter, the Oracle adapter, the KnowledgeBase product, etc...). I'm also interested in testimonials about the use of WebCT or similar products. Thank you very much.

There is an attempt to on-line class room. www.openclassroom.org This may have been initiated by DC folks. Jerome Alet wrote:
