I would like to build an educational web site and would like to ask you for
your suggestions

Is there a drupal 7 package already out there? I did not see one on the
drupal.org site


requirements

1. ui should be very easy to use and accessible to low vision / blind users
that use screen reading or magnification software.

2. each student must have their own private access to course material that
is assigned by the teacher as they move through the training. This is only
shared between the student and teacher on a one on one basis.

3. teacher should have a way to hand content such as files that live on the
server to the student to work on while preserving the original content.

4. Student will have access to update their work either online or upload an
attached file that is saved in their own personal folder
/user/username/filename it should get replaced so no duplicate file names
such as name1.doc name.2.doc. maybe want email notification so know file is
changed. Student can check that they are done with the assignment and an
notification gets sent off to the teacher. Note once checked only the
teacher can change it back.

5. The ability for student and teacher to have a private question and answer
area. email notification will be sent alerting of new information optional
once read by student/teacher q/a should be remove was thinking the scheduler
or better yet rules should be able to do this.

6. Student will have the ability to change the state of their work such as
completed, need help, in progress and an email notification will be emailed
to the teacher with the information of the workflow change. The only one way
change for the student is once the mark completed they cannot change it back
to work on further, only the teacher should be able to do this.

7. a way for the students to communicate with one another.

module list

backup migrate - keep backup of the drupal database
ctools - required for views module
filefield paths custom path for each student
filefield pats sources further enhance filefield for controlling content
pathauto
rules use for notifying content and other options as well
scheduler ability to schedule content to be published and unpublished
token - required by other modules

note should look at the field types as could be done with just using fields.
notes: take notes might be used for teacher / student communication about
their work, such as q/a for each part of the course should be private only
between student and teacher.

Thank you for your suggestions
