This paper describes experiences designing and developing a low-cost courseware system to support the taught

using a combination of both original and modified open-source components. The re-quirements analysis, design,

development and testing phases of the system are all described. Finally, ob-servations on its first year of operation

are presenting including suggestions for why the completed sys-tem fell out of use before the years end.
