Rails - Jan 2006 - Anybody building elearning apps with Rails

Hello

I''m new to rails (just boarded the Train a week ago). I''ve
been an
elearning developer for about 10 years and for the last couple of years
have solely concentrated on adding tools to a proprietary Learning
Management System built in Coldfusion. ...But I''m also a Java and
ASP.NET
developer.

I am keen to start an open source rails inspired project to build the
generation learning and teaching system. I don''t want to use the term
"Learning Management System" as these systems are too big and
management
focussed to be useful. I am much more interested in using Rails and Ajax
to build learning tools.

Anyway just wondering if anybody else is using rails to build learning tools.

Take Care

Hi - I''m not exactly developing a learning tool at the moment, but
I''m in
the same ballpark - FreeMIS is an open source school MIS.  I''ve found
Rails
really productive!
