Hi,
We (a smal group) have build a quite comprehensive (but still far from =
perfect in our opinion) Zope based system in wich teachers can offer =
websupport with their courses. It's a sort of content management system =
for teachers. Students can also deliver content. There are groupware =
fascilites and more. This is all realized in a rather large social =
sciences faculty within a dutch university. We have a relative large, =
happy, userbase but.......
It has been quite a struggle. Not the development sec but 'selling' Zope =
as a platform and facing competitors in the ,so called weblearning =
world. Now we're facing a battle with Blackboard (I'm just recovering =
from an attack by some idiots who want to rebuild the whole thing with =
PHP, Dutch universities: never a dull moment.....).
What realy would help us (in defending our system and Zope) is a list =
universities, schools etc. who are using Zope for =
educational/scientific/content management purposes. I'm =
monitoring/contributing to (not as much as some of you I'm afraid) =
this list and I noticed that quite some activity on the Zope front is =
happening in academic/scientefic/educational environments but I never =
kept any taps.=20
So if you are using Zope in this sort of environment please let me know. =
You can mail me direct: linde@fsw.leidenuniv.nl. If I have a list I put =
it on Zope.org so that other people can use to defend their (potential) =
Zope efforts to decisionmakers, a sort of academic/educational showcase. =
