Hi,<br>
<br>
Just found this list and I hope that what I want to do fits the purpose of<br>
the list somewhat. From looking through the archives, I'm hoping I'm not off<br>
target.<br>
<br>
I presently have an online sewing school using Moodle and although the<br>
software is great it doesn't lend itself as well to a commercial<br>
environment. in addition, my instructors are not always real computer savvy<br>
so it makes it difficult for them to wade thru the complexity of it. Plus<br>
so much of it is overkill for my use. (Don't need grading e, LMS etc.) I<br>
needed a frontend (for the commercial aspect) which i tried Joomla but the<br>
integraton was just too cumbersome.<br>
<br>
So I've decide to use WorPress because it's easier to use for all. It will<br>
be a pay per course or group of courses with a variety of instructors. Lots<br>
of videos, forums for each course, photo galleries etc. And of course there<br>
will be a fabric store, book stores etc., at the front end. And so I have<br>
lots to do with getting ready for the move of the school.<br>
<br>
I'm looking at membershp plugins, PayPal plugins, course plugs and many<br>
other plugins. I'm testing many of them now.<br>
<br>
Is anyone out there trying or have a online school that charges per course<br>
and has a curriculum? Or something similar?<br>
<br>
