Thelma,

Homework Dropbox and Simple Survey should be part of dotLRN v1.0. We do use it in SloanSpace. I need to check whether it's been incorporated in the dotLRN v1.0 code base.

Event management is under development and should be available in a couple of months as part of dotLRN v1.0 release.

The Advanced Survey module has not been developed and still needs funding.

The homework package is in dotLRN 1.0 today and I've ported it to Postgres, as well.

It allows professors and graders to upload comment/correction files which the student can then read.  It's a simple extension to the file storage package so isn't necessarily the  most elegant solution in the world but it is easy to use.

Though I'm not sure what the features are for complex survey I can tell that we are porting our enhancements for the survey module to OpenACS til middle of May. These are:

- Sectioning. You can split up your survey in multiple sections.
- Branching. Depending on an answer to a question you are redirected to different sections.
- Public. Survey's can be public, which means they can be answered by anyone (even unregistered users).
- Finished_p. Once you have sections you have the problem of defining whether a survey has been answered completely (as sections allow people to fill out a compley survey in multiple stages).
- Delete. Unsure if it's already there, but we will have the possibility to delete surveys.
- Some fancy new styles for surveys (adding graphics as possible answers, multiple layers (e.g quality and importance) of multiple choice questions.
