You can accomplish this using Drupal and the following modules.
Sign-up - for enrollment and reminders
LDAP integration
Notifications/messaging
Calendar
Views - works with Calendar to output course scheduling in calendar format
- also for building class lists, attendance lists are handled by the Sign-up module but you might also do it in
CCK - create a workshop content type with start and end date field.
Events[optional]
Faceted search to limit searches to the workshop content type

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Library Class Registration System
One of my teams is considering building a system for handling library
class signup. That is, for one-time classes such as "How to Search
Pubmed," not for enrollment in academic courses like BIO101.
Before building it, we are looking around to see if there is already
something out there that could do it for us (either open-source or
commercial). Do you have any suggestions?
Here are the key requirements:
Super simple sign-up no accounts (email response, captcha).
-or LDAP integration
Student needs to be able to cancel enrollment in a class
Reminders to students that they're scheduled for class
Calendar of available classes available in multiple formats
day/week/month/list (printable)
Take Attendance
Flexible Reporting on attendance
Let instructors schedule classes
Allow Instructor to easily see who's registered
Instructor or Administrator can cancel a class
Users can Search & Browse available classes
Thank you.
