CMSes for Educational Web Site Development

As of: June 2010 (1st draft)

To submit your inquires, email: Jennifer Woodward, PI

WebLearningTools Research (WLTRes) personnel (right now just me, the PI: JGW) and WLTRes sub-contractors can perform Educational Web Site Development for the client on a sliding hourly or per-task or per-project fee to be determined.

"We" will do so using any of the following FOUR (4) "web 2.0" Content Management Systems (CMS):

  • Joomla! v1.5  4x4x3
  • Drupal v6  4x3x2
  • Wordpress v2  5x3x3
  • Moodle v1.9  4x2x2

My (JGW's) knowledge level, extension selection and configuration skill level, and extension-modification and creation skill levels I self-rate on a triple (or 'triplet' or 'three-tuple') 0-5 scale as in "5x5x4":

Key to the Tentative Rating System:

CMS System Knowledge Level: 0 = none, 1 = can define terms and concepts, 2 = xxxx, 3 = xxxx, 4 = expert, 5 = has expert understanding, knowledge and skill sets and can teach the subject.

CMS Extension Selection, Configuration, Inter-relationship Optimization Level: 0 = none, 1 = developer (I) can install, have the site up and running in an hour or less..., 2 = xxxx, 3 = xxxx, 4 = expert, 5 = expert and can train others to have the same knowledge and skill levels in 1+ sub-domain of this work area.

CMS Extension Code and DB Schema Modifications and Creation: 0 = none, 1 = xxxx, 2 = xxxx, 3 = xxxx, 4 = expert, 5 = expert unit, sub-system, and system coder and can train others in these areas.

Later "we" at WLTRes will have this "triplet" rating system for each WLTRes employee, contractor, and volunteer developer.
