Corona CA – September 8, 2010 --
EdWeb 2.0 is now an open source CMS for Education that helps school
districts maintain a web presence. When combined with an existing school
district web site, EdWeb 2.0 helps to provide a more comprehensive
solution compared to a district level web site by itself.
The primary focus of EdWeb 2.0 is individual teacher web sites, but it
also includes additional features such as:
- Aggregated search to find educational site links input by all
teachers in the district
- Student logins that allow for non-anonymous comments by students
on teacher blogs
- Site Builder for small schools and departments to create/manage
their own independent sites and send eNews
- Shareportal for sharing of documents/links in an intranet style
- Lesson Plan repository
EdWeb 2.0 is based on the Microsoft IIS/SQL platform, using ASP.NET 2.0
technologies.
Tierra Software Development, the company behind the development of EdWeb
2.0, is looking to build the Open EdWeb community to help further the
use of EdWeb 2.0 by K-12, and provide a free option for school districts
that would like to host it themselves. EdWeb 2.0 is designed to
complement a school district web site, rather than replace it, providing
the school district with a more comprehensive web presense.
