Features can be utilized in developing simple to very sophisticated school sites. Can be installed on most any host server and is available for free.

[edit] How do you use it

Install on server and use as content manager for school or particular class. Once set up, allows you to share class or school content with ease. Content can be a full range of written, video, audio, still visual images and event calendars. It can also be as open or closed as you would like. Is it better or worse than other content management software, thats what I'm curious about
