Pam,

I've looked over Opeus. It appears to be a straightforward Content 
Management System with some the terminology remapped into education-ese.
Have you considered something like Plone and EduPlone?

 http://plone.org/
 http://eduplone.net/index_html?cl=en

They too have MS-Word-like content creators, plus a very flexible content 
publishing and reviewing workflow.

These are based on Zope, which is a single-EXE install for Windows (or an 
RPM install for Linux.) Also, it's all zero cost.

Cheers,
