Sivakatirswami,
most of those kinds of sites here are done by the larger publishing
and training companies are are thus closed. most is pretty bad IMHO.
the larger the publishing firms have gotten with recent consolidation
and the increase on all sorts of state educational frame works (a few
biggies most states follow and then the rest all over the place) have
lead to this kind of stuff getting more and more and more bland and
boring and the level/depth of content significantly dropping off big
time. so not sure if they would be good models for you to follow
anyway except to show you some things not to do... there seems to be
much better quality and depth at the college level going on as there
is a bit more standardization/accreditation that goes on there and
since more academic you will find more open source of folks letting
you review what they have done.
only one i know of of decent quality and depth is K12, its the 800lb
gorilla in the online ed world these days. not sure if they have a
preview you can do as they are slowly getting away from the home
school market (where they started) and moving more to magnet schools
(easier to get the volume purchases with only a few folks deciding
instead of a lot of very picky home schoolers doing the review!)
thats the 2 cents i can throw into the pot.
cheers

We are trying to look into educational frameworks to check on possible
models for building our own system on the web.
We have a professor who gave us access to her moodle site, but it's
gear
to first year university math courses.
We need to see models in use for K-12, where the interface is actually
"usable" by the children themselves, if such a think exists.
But, in all our searches, we are blocked at every turn. There
appears to
be nothing "open" you either have to be an instructor or a registered
student with an enrollment ID to get in. This makes perfect sense
from a
security point of view, but it leaves anyone searching for such things
completely shut out. We see hundreds of moodle sites and companies
that
support moodle users. But not a single "portal" that we can get into
to
look around for K-12 ideas.
If you know of any teachers/sites that might allow us to view the
frame
work (courses for kids, the syllabus, the modules in use, etc.) we
would
really appreciate it.
Please contact me off line with any access info/ideas you may have.
Thanks
Sivakatirswami
