Hi :)
Perhaps Moodle? I haven't looked into Moodle but keep meaning to.
It's supposedly good for higher education but it might be more about
just tutors and lecturers being able to place documents and text and
stuff in an attractive layout that's easy for students to just
read. I'm not sure how interactive it can be.

Tom :)
we have 'moodle' (for some reason our ITS calls it 'nexus') and I used
to use it when it first came out. I have looked to see if this is
built in and it probably is, or they could activate it, but I haven't
found it yet; I should just ask and I might settle for it but I don't
like using moodle otherwise so that would be my only use for it -- it
is a rather large canon for the little fly I want to swat.
I am more partial to drupal but haven't yet found a utility for file
uploading that was simple enough to configure in small snatches of
time I have for it. it often seems to require installing this and that
module, updating the whole she-bang and so on.
I just don't have time for reconstructive surgery on my drupal site,
not now at least and now would be a great time to have the upload
utility.
oh, well. pardon the off-off-topic; we should get back to the main
off-topic or even on topic!

this thread is off-topic but I'll take advantage of it before it's

c) should be either linux-based or agnostic.
OwnCloud. Wait for version 5 though ("End of February"):

thanks. this deserves more study but so far as I can see now, it doesn't suit
my purpose. it allows me to access files from diverse places and devices. I can
already do that on a server to which I have ssh and sshfs access.
what I need is something where _others_ can upload their files for _me_ to
access. think of students uploading papers for the teacher to grab. the
students shouldn't see each other's work though they should see their own.
(it would be great if they had permissions to modify and delete their own stuff
but not essential; it is essential that Windows and Mac people can upload their
files.)
I'll study the owncloud page more but I'm not seeing these features so far.
