Tool for distributing course materials - test drivers wanted

Post by andyatposterbee » Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:13 pm

Hey,

I'm working in a team that has just built a simple tool that university professors have started to use for distributing course materials. It's more convenient than emailing, it allows feedback and commenting and it automatically creates a searchable archive.

Our advisors have suggested this could be useful for teaching languages as well eg. distributing reading materials or assignments. Would be great to get a few teachers to try it out. We'd happily give away our premium product for free in exchange for trying out the product and giving feedback. If you're interested please comment below or email [email protected]

Cheers,

Andy

Hey - just to let you know that we're now live with the new http://www.posterbee.com. It may or may not be useful for distributing language learning materials for students - would be great to get feedback either as replies here or an email to [email protected]

Hi Andy,

It looks like a nice idea for open learning, i.e. Creative Commons learning resources that anyone can use, modify and redistribute.

I think most organisations that adopt elearning these days use a learning management systems, such as Moodle, which already include all the tools necessary for organising and distributing resources to schools, courses, classes, groups and individual students.

I hope this helps! :)
