CourseWork, Version I (2001)
CourseWork I, a full-featured course management system, was developed as part of the Open Knowledge Initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. A prototype, including all planned tools, was delivered in fall 2001. After testing and refinement, the complete production version with a full complement of Web site administration features, was available Winter Quarter 2002. By June 2002, after the system had been available for two academic quarters, more than 400 course web sites were created and over 6000 students and instructors had registered.
CourseWork had two basic views: student and instructor for each page that the student viewed. The instructor also viewed a set of links to editing wizards that stepped them through the development process. Each user logged on to CourseWork and then viewed a list of the courses in which they were registered. From this page they could navigate to one of their course sites. A course site, from the user point-of-view, consisted of a set of tools:
- Course Homepage
- Announcements
- Syllabus
- Schedule
- Course Material
- Assignments (optional)
- Grades (optional)
- Discussion (optional)
All Tools had an admin view for the instructor to edit the page: enter information, upload files, create quizzes, etc.
