<div>Mariann:</div> <div> </div> <div>Why not try Moodle at Moodle.org. It's a web based course management system. You can put the files in categories or topics and anybody can download files or upload them to you also. The program does have to run off a server, but it was easy for me to install on our server. You can also use a hosting service such as hostgator.com they have moodle scripts that can be used. The program has a lot of power and flexibility and it's free, open-source. I don't know why organizations and schools don't use it more instead of using Blackboard and WebCT, which cost thousands of dollars. I'm using it internally for my school's courses. It's fantastic. Teachers can have things hidden only for them to see and other things are seen by the students.</div> <div> </div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Mariann Fedele <MariannF@lacnyc.org></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px;
