I was researching LMS type stuff around the net and found eXe, a very attractive open source tool for creating Lessons ( standards compliant ) and generating the result as a sequence of html pages and resources. exeLearning.org or core-ed.net.
I am experimenting to see if the eXe pages can be 'wrapped' in web2py ie. Idea web2py app maintains a table of categories and a table of lesson titles in these categories. This is fairly standard. the user can then select and hopefully start a Lesson 1. is it possible to shell out to the lesson index.html from web2py? ( run the set of html files stored in local folder in separate browser window). (( the lesson is obviously Not a web2py app itself.)) Where and how should the Lesson resources be stored and referenced from web2py field? (All eXe generated lessons begin with index.html) My trials with redirect and static have not worked. :-( 2. It would also need to upload a zip file and unzip it into folder. ( still researching this :-/ I suppose the ultimate idea is for the user to be able to upload lessons created with eXe for other users to download and use. Any ideas welcome. strength to the LMS mill!
