 Wix

Wix is a free website building platform it's beneficial to the learner because of the flexibility of website design.  Wix is functional because coding is not necessary to create an attractive interchangeable website.  The learner may have the flexibility of creating without restrictions.   The less restrictions allow the learner the opportunity to focus on course expectations verses website design.  In return learning can be fun and interactive.    Lesson material can be easily shared on WIX through adding apps, uploads  and sharing links.  The drawback is it's primary function is design it's not solely a unalloyed CMS although it does have some features that operate as a CMS.  Also, once the user commits to a design there is no going back to change the design. But this can be a great function for the learner because he/she can't spend too much time worrying about the design.

SilverStripe is a flexible CMS  tool that is great for developing websites.  It's a functional website that's manageable for the user and produces visually stimulating data that is interchangeable between educator and the learner.  The drawback is that the user must be familiar with the website to understand how to create efficiently.  It's not a great website for the novice but ideal for the advance educator and learner.  It's a step up from Wordpress and Joomia.  The educator can create extended search engines which will be beneficial for research purposes
