When Notre Dame chose to brand our course management system, Concourse, the CMS Steering Committee was the one who made the final decision.
I immediately thought of airplanes and the path to the gate to lift off… an appropriate analogy for a system that supplies gateways to various learning tools, don’t you think?
Then you could name your test-n-dev environment sincourse or sanscourse since it won’t have any real courses. 🙂
I like it. I like it!
