Project Description
- Project resources
ReleasesECLecture is a Plone product for managing lectures, seminars and other courses.
ECLecture provides two main services:
- An ECLecture object groups all course-related information. You can enter all course “metadata” (such as title, instructor, time, location, credits, etc.) into a form and ECLecture will autmatically handle the presentation of this information. This helps you not to forget anything and ensures that students can find the information for all courses in the same place.
- An ECLecture object serves as a “portal” to all course-related materials like slides, exercises, tests, or reading lists. You can manage these materials using the appropriate content types (e.g., ECFolder and ECAssignmentBox for assignments) and add them as resources to the course. Since ECLecture is a folder-like object, these resources can be stored inside of it, but they can also be stored somewhere else, even on another server.
If your students also have accounts on your Zope server and if you use groups to represent their participation in a course, you can associate your ECLecture objects with the appropriate groups. ECLecture then offers a participants tab, where you can see a list of all students enrolled in this course.
ECLecture is fully internationalized; currently it comes with localization for English and German.
Prerequisites
To use ECLecture you need a Plone 2.1.x installation. Check plone.org for Plone's prerequisites.
You also need DataGridField, available from plone.org/products/datagridfield/. If you're using Zope 2.7, note that there's an issue with DataGridField and Zope 2.7. A fix is described in the issue report.
