What are some good web tools that play nicely with Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and
other RTL scripts?

Sakai, Yale's LMS, is not terribly friendly to these, so I'm working on finding
a fair substitution for our patient instructors. (Feel free to inform me about
how Sakai can work in these cases, if you know.) What are the known good
products for this sort of thing?

The general categories that need to be covered are communication with, between,
and among students; assessment, including short vocabulary quizzes; and
assigning work and receiving work product.

So far I've found that Moodle seems to support Hebrew quite well and is used in
several Israeli educational institutions. However, that's a heavyweight solution
with too much administrative support required. I've also been pleased with
WordPress support of Hebrew, so we may make some use of that.

But what else?

(LLTI archives are rather quiet on this topic, especially in the last 4 years.)

Best,
Trip
