Content Management System: allows the webmaster (adminstrator of the server) to make permission available to certain groups to update the site;
U of M's big groundshaking project is Spectrum, bigtime CMS, specific for students (handles course selection, financial aid, etc); others are Oracle and PeopleSoft.
Drupal is a free CMS, but it must be installed onto a server.
Fantastico is used by hosting companies on their huge servers. It provides a drop-box option on individual user's sites.
Course Management System organizes information for students' courses s/a assignments, grades, forums for students, etc.
Moodle and Sakai (like on the Iron Chef) are both free course management software. Check out Sakai project: This is an ongoing project that is trying to make course management software for universities for free. They still need investment buddies.
podcasting
Some kind of digital audio content on the web that already have an RSS feed. People can subscribe to podcasts. iTunes is most commonly-used software to let you listen to your music. Apple sells tunes now. (This week I heard that Universal has decided not to renew their contract with Apple.)
Podcasting took off. Audio files are attached to RSS feed. ipodder software is a podcatcher. Any audio can be put on the iPod.
We lanuched iTunes. We go to the podcast department. The user can subscribe to a podcast; some are free. Anyone can produce their own audiocast or vodcast. "This is an incrediblly empowering time to be living!" T.M.
You can subscribe to podcasts through your RSS feed at bloglines. Check out podcastdirectory.com
