Notes

Prometheus is unique in that sites are structured around the "Outline," a set of pages, one for each class session, that provides a built-in chronological structure to the site. Instructors can therefore add any kind of content (reading materials, audio, etc.) to a given day on the calendar. To build a similar structure in WebCT or Blackboard, the instructor would need to create content pages for each session manually.
