ClassConnect: "GitHub" for Class Lessons

At the time, ClassConnect was building a pseudo-LMS -- I say "pseudo" as while it contained some features of an LMS (a calendar, for example), the emphasis was always the course's content (and collaboration and communication around the content), rather than on its administration. ClassConnect founder Eric Simons has gone back to the drawing board with the latest version of his startup's product, scrapping the LMS features (yay!) And focusing instead on lesson-building and lesson-sharing. The new ClassConnect is a little bit like Dropbox and little bit like GitHub.

That is, it's a little bit of file-sharing and a little bit of forking.
