Setting up a teacher network

    Hey guys I'm wondering if you could help me, I'm not a coder but I have a basic background in web development. For a masters project I am trying to set up a web site thats similar to teachertube.com I want users to be able to upload documents and files. This is so that teachers can network and collaborate with each other on the net.

    The types of files that would be uploaded would be everything from .doc .ppt to CAD files that are .DWG etc.

    I have put together a site that has a joomla content management system but i wonder if there is anything i can add to this to allow users upload files and maybe have user profiles?

    Is the site live yet?
    I am an IT trainer and certainly interested in hooking up with others.

    One site that shares resourses is www.happy.co.uk Happy computers are a training org.

    Have you looked at moodle? IT Tallaght use it to communicate between students & lecturers, host course content etc.
    Good luck

    Hey,
    No its not up yet having issues with how to actually enact it. I have a Joomla Content management system but i want to make it as dynamic as possible.

    I also want it to be as open as possible and be able to cope with different file types. For all purposes a wiki that has files attached to pages, that the files can be edited and resubmitted with the option of reverting to previous versions depending on what the community sees fit.

    I think what it has come down to is I will use a Joomla content management system with Google wave modules for each of the different subjects in secondary schools. This is due to the ease of doing this (i have no coding background) and ultimately my masters is more focused on if this collaboration actually works.

    Any input or functionality you might have interest in though is appreciate, the more i know the less mistakes (hopefully! :eek: )

    Thanks
