Overkill for general purposes, but open source Moodle (
http://moodle.org) is a worthy content management system for educational application. It tends to edu terminology, with "courses", "lessons", "resources", "activities", etc. It has filters that can for example turn a link to multimedia such as a .mov file into an embed for the multimedia. I use it because a plugin lets me type math expressions such as `sqrt(a^2+b^2)` and have them display in traditional notation. If a teacher gets ambitious, one can use it to administer multiple-choice or short answer quizzes with automatic grading. Creating HTML has a simple online editor, much like gmail or yahoo. Moodle runs on Linux, Mac, or Win, organizes items in MySql, and uses PHP. It has packaged installs for each OS (Xamp, etc.), so with about 10 minutes of 1-time effort I can run it from a usb stick, without net.
