Google has a course management system. Very basic, but it would do what you're looking for.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Class Registration System
You can accomplish this using Drupal and the following modules. Sign-up - for enrollment and reminders LDAP integration Notifications/messaging Calendar Views - works with Calendar to output course scheduling in calendar format - also for building class lists, attendance lists are handled by the Sign-up module but you might also do it in CCK - create a workshop content type with start and end date field. Events[optional] Faceted search to limit searches to the workshop content type Ian Chan Web Development Librarian California State University San Marcos 7606834234 http://biblio.csusm.edu/people/ichan From: Bell, Mike (Libraries) mb...@library.rochester.edu Reply-To: Code for Libraries CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:17:28 -0700 To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Library Class Registration System One of my teams is considering building a system for handling library class signup.
