AbulEdu LeTerrier

“Le Terrier d'AbulÉdu” covers a series of free software meant for schools and colleges : they have been created one by one, for the last past ten years, by teachers for other teachers. Since they were iniatilly meant to fit the AbulEdu networks, they are basically compatible with Debian ... [More] and Ubuntu, nearly always with GNU/Linux as well as Microsoft Windows, and partly with MacOS. Their specificity lies in the way they have been developped : instead of being a one-way work, each of them is the result of numerous exchanges, often for months, between teachers and developpers. Here is the reason why the abuledu-fr association has been created, in order to keep in touch with users and to maintain a strong link between both communities. [Less]

SELF Platform

The SELF Platform will have two main functions. It will be simultaneously a knowledge base and a collaborative production facility: On the one hand, it will provide information, educational and training materials that can be presented in different languages and forms: from course texts ... [More] , presentations, e-learning programmes and platforms to tutor software, e-books, instructional and educational videos and manuals. On the other hand, it will offer a platform for the evaluation, adaptation, creation and translation of these materials. The production process of such materials will be based on the organisational model of Wikipedia. This software project is akin to what Wikimedia is to Wikipedia. The users of this software can be any educational or training institute that intends to run an online distributed collaborative authoring and learning service. Project website: http://www.selfproject.eu/ Other Software Required: The platform is based on Python, Zope, and GNOWSYS (the latter is a GNU Project), and does not have any non-free software dependencies.
