Abstract :
This paper describes the development of and initial experiences with WebCMS (a Web-based course management system), a learning management system developed in the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). The system was developed to facilitate existing CSE practices and overcome limitations of existing CSE course management tools, but has evolved into a generic online course management platform. It also provides some insight into what can be achieved towards online learning by a single programmer using a collection of open-source tools.
