Plone (www.plone.org), while also being free, is incredibly easy to setup and navigate. You can read about our efforts in using Plone in educational settings online at <a href="http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/blog/archives/02-11-2005_02-10-2006.htm#323" rel="nofollow">http://www.edsupport.cc/mguhlin/blog/archives/02-11-2005_02-10-2006.htm#323</a> as well as find some examples. I'm particularly excited because Moodle--as wonderful as it is at first glance--can be clunky and get in the way of sharing information. Plone on the other hand, is incredibly easy to get started with, customize, and more. I urge you to take a look at it before making a final decision. Keep up the awesome blogging!

Several have spontaneously also wanted to use them as portfolios. You can see a few of them here: <a href="http://moodle521.occ.utk.edu/course/category.php?id=40" rel="nofollow">http://moodle521.occ.utk.edu/course/category.php?id=40</a> It's worked pretty well. The other tool that I've become excited about for creating web stuff is Drupal. With tools like Moodle and Drupal (<a href="http://drupal.ord" rel="nofollow">http://drupal.ord</a>). I'm very nearly convinced that Normal People don't need to learn to use tools like Frontpage or Dreamweaver (or NVU and Bluefish, their OSS cousins). Though Drupal is a blog, I've been using it as a general purpose content management system (<a href="http://learn.occ.utk.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://learn.occ.utk.edu/</a>).
