From reading each of their bios at ScholarPress, they certainly have a passion for education!
You can find ScholarPress at their main website or SP Courseware (another name for it) in the WordPress Plugin Directory. And you can join the ScholarPress development group on Google if you would like to contribute toward this open source project or want to share any bugs you may have found with the plugin.
This is great for people who want to help others learn things like WordPress or even Web Design, or even Graphic Design. The integration with WordPress makes this plugin easy for both the instructor and the student to get their assignments. I am looking forward to here more on this project.
Sounds pretty cool?
