Question

We have a not for profit curriculum that a few schools are starting to use for their students. We need a website that will enable teachers to download the course materials, share their own materials and activities for each lesson, have discussions, and give feedback.

I have looked into multiple Learning Management Systems (like Moodle) and they all seem to be centered around the student (our site is exclusively for teachers of our curriculum).

Any suggestions (including thinking out of the box) are welcome.

Explanation / Answer

Yahoo Groups could do your bidding. I haven't tried it since the new interface, but I've used it multiple times a few years ago to share materials with other students working on the same project.

You can create public or restricted groups where one could only join via invitation
Members can upload files and folders to the group for other members to download (Limit of 100MB per group)
Members can have discussions through direct messages or through topic threads, similar to forums
Group managers have the ability to create polls to ask for feedback from the group members

Groups can have other features, such as database tables and calendar events. It is free, so give it a test run
