I'm looking for source code for a web based study group. I'd prefer something in Python or C#. I have searched google but I'm finding mostly existing study groups on particular topics and not software to host an online study group.
Can anyone help out?
Edit: Ah, I was unfamiliar with the buzzwords "Learning Management System" or "Virtual Learning Environment". Moodle is indeed the type of thing I was looking for, even if it is written in the horrible php "language".
Thanks.
I am not quite sure what you mean by "host an online study group".
If it is about people collaborate to learn something, I think moodle is what you are looking for.
Here is the wikipedia lemma for moodle:
Moodle is a free and open source e-learning software platform, also known as a Course Management System, Learning Management System, or Virtual Learning Environment. It has a significant user base with 49,256 registered sites with 28,177,443 users in 2,571,855 courses (as of February, 2009).
Here is how the moodle people describe it themselves:
Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students.
It is not written in Python or C#, but PHP and released under GPL. You can install it on your webserver or use free moodle hosting like e-socrates.
There seems to be work on a django based course MS - http://peach3.nl/trac . However, the source is not available yet :(
I am interested in developping such an app (free open-source) in django (which I am learning), so if anybody else wants to help email me (a web designer would help a lot).
