This forum I tried to use with my Biology 105 Classes to combine both the hybrid and Face to Face. It was put in both Blackboard courses as well as on the science website It did not work.

I have 2 sites in Joomla and I have yet to determine why this is so popular.
Lectures from SoftChalk. I have most of them here.

The next page in this site has a list of all the Open Source Projects I am using or learning right now. I am looking to see what would be simple but effective for my students.
