Site@School is a Content Management System (CMS) to manage and maintain the website of a primary school.
It is Open Source Software, licensed under the General Public license.

Features for teachers and pupils
  • Pupils can publish their personal pages. The total number of pages a pupil can have is 99. When a pupil makes or modifies her/his personal page an e-mail message is sent to the teacher. The teacher can check the page and approve, disaprove, delete, or make the page visible.This feature can be enabled/disabled for every individual pupil.
  • Projects. A group of pupils can have a project with pages that are accessible and editable by all group members. When a page, in use by a group member, is accessed by another member, a warning message is given. When the page is 'released', another group member can edit that page. In conjunction with the chat, collaborative, or project based learning becomes available.
  • A teacher does not need to enter the Site@School Managemant system to manage the pupils pages of her/his group. This makes managing pupils pages by teachers a simple job done in minutes. Multiple teachers can manage a class. Adding pupils to a class can also be performed from the site.
  • Teachers can also have their own webpages, together with the class and/or together with other teachers.
  • An intranet for teachers. This is the 'Protected Area' in Site@School, where only teachers have access to. The Protected Area can have its own theme (site design). Giving the 'Protected area' a different design prevents errors like putting 'teachers only' material on the publicly accessible part of the schoolsite.
  • Easy management of classes: it's possible to move all pupils in a class to a new year.
  • The possibility to couple teachers and pupils to modules. This feature is used for example in the Forum module where teachers and pupils have a closed forum that's password protected and not accessible to the public. The general forums are public-access. This feature can also be used in the development of future modules.
