: Looking for CMS for managing courses I'm looking for a good CMS for managing courses. I don't want to run these courses via the internet - so I'm not looking for an e-learning CMS. What

Drupal is incredibly powerful and extremely customizable. You can do pretty much everything you require with Drupal using plug-ins and by customizing it.

Another option would be to create your own CMS, but this would raise the cost. If cost isn't an option, this may be your best bet as you could get EXACTLY what you want and, if you need more options later, you could have them added in provided the CMS is written in such a way that makes it easy "plug-in" new technologies.

However, before making the leap to getting a custom CMS, take a look at Drupal and some of its plug-ins to get an idea of whether or not it's exactly what you need. It's free, but you will likely incur some cost using Drupal unless you customize and set it up yourself.

I agree with you about the eLearning Platform. It sounds like your needs won't be met with a platform like that and what you require is too different to modify a pre-existing eLearning platform to your specifications. Best of luck!

Sounds like a custom php mysql system would work best.

Moodle is hardly sophisticated and is used by some brick-and-mortar universities. You can always just not use some of its features. You do not even have to install it to try it out, since you can download a virtual appliance, for example from bitnami.
