Re: [LUG] Offer of venue for DCGLUG meeting related to Educational software

I use Sims at school and don't like it at all. For folks that aren't 
computer literate it is nearly impossible to get going! It really is 
not intuitive at all.

Have you looked at Moodle? It seems that it provides a way for schools 
to create their own learning environment. I think it has an option to 
include e-registration and maybe with a bit of work a Sims modole as 
well. www.module.org.
