A few days ago, I made a post about Python and Smalltalk - and it seems that I'm not the only one who sees collaboration possibilities. Adele Goldberg thinks so as well:
"Adele (yes, her of Smalltalk fame) and Dennis tackled the other end
of education by combining Python, Zope, Flash, and some Smalltalk (of
course :-) to build a system for creating and running high quality
on-line instruction in topics such algebra and calculus. The whole
system was programmed in 4-6 months by Adele and Dennis (and a
part-time Flash programmer) without any prior knowledge of Python or
Zope. Pretty impressive, especially since the resulting system caters
to three different groups of users: a team consisting of master
teachers and animators who create the class, the teachers who teach
the class, and the students who take it."
