Coursor project is a Web application for academic environments.
Coursor is a Web-based academic course system for assigning students to university courses.
It has an evolutionary algorithm for assigning students to the courses they requested. This algorithm tries to find an optimal distribution of students to existing courses while taking their preferences into account.
The system supports multiple roles for users: Admin, Student, Teacher/Prof, or Tutor.
A user can also have multiple roles.
It supports international localization, currently in English, German, French, Russian, and Arabic
Main features:
- Browser independent usage for students, teachers and admins alike (no frames, no necessary JavaScript, no cookies).
- Platform independent (entirely written in JAVA).
- Runs on APACHE Tomcat and uses a Postgresql Database.
- Evolutionary Algorithm to assign students to courses.
- Multiple Roles: Administrator, Teacher/Prof, Tutor and Student. One person can have multiple roles.
Enhancements:
- Encoding for Russian fixed
- PropertyEditor (propEdit.sf.net) programmed, will be released as own package. Eases Tranlation a lot.
- I18N target in build.xml starts PropertyEditor
- Serializable classes with ID (Eclipse wanted that)

Konqueror Userscript is a KDE improvement script for Konqueror browser.
So far, the only feature available is autoexecuting every file under ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/userscripts as js, within current document context. TODO, of course, a lil bit compatibility with GreaseMonkey. Include, exclude url definitely will be mandatory needed feature. So far, you got to filtered it yourself within your JS :D. Im sure somebody will post a handy js script for this. Also, needed feature would be: enable disable userscript of course.
Screenshot shows an effect of the following code:
var elms = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
//alert(elms.length);
for(var i=0;i
elms[i].style.color="red";
elms[i].style.border="1px solid";
}
Enhancements:
- Supports userscript metadata (//== UserScript== tag).
- include/exclude works (I assume greasemonkey using wildcard matching)

H2O Rotisserie is a collaborative course management and structured discussion system.

H2O is a system that supports gathering people around ideas.

In addition to the traditional features of learning management systems, H2O includes support for collaboration between projects through the sharing of syllabus elements and through joint discussions between projects.

It also supports Rotisserie-structured discussions, which provide an alternative to traditional online discussion boards by structuring the timing and flow of discussions.

It can be used as a traditional course management platform, but it can also be used for more informal projects centered around the exploration of a set of ideas, whether the project be a conference, an ongoing public discussion, or a traditional academic course.

GolfTracker is an application written in python and GTK used for tracking golf statistics. GolfTracker handles calculating your handicap index as well as lots of general golf statistics.

Useage:

When launching GolfTracker for the first time you will start with a new profile. The first step is to add a course to this profile. After adding a course, you must add the specific information for each teebox at the course. This is tedious at first but soon youll have all your local courses and teeboxes entered.

Once the courses and teeboxes are setup, its time to enter round scores. When entering a round, you select which course and teebox you played and enter the information for each hole. GolfTracker tracks score, putts, fairways hit, and will generate a Greens in Regulation (GIR) statistic.

Once enough rounds are entered you can check your handicap index and calculate a specific handicap value for a course and teebox. You can also check your stats for any combination of rounds.

prerex project is an interactive (command-line) editor and a LaTeX macro support package that can be used to create very attractive and readable prerequisite charts.
A prerequisite chart is a network of course boxes linked by prerequisite and co-requisite arrows.
Enhancements:
- The patch for kpdf has been modified so that correct chart coordinates are returned when the document display is smaller than the kpdf window.

Roster-in-a-Box project is a course management system designed to facilitate the use of autograded homework assignments, while also allowing for text-based questions to be submitted online and graded online by the instructor. I developed and currently use the system for my introductory statistics and microeconomics courses at Long Island University, and I have had it in production since 2005. While you will be able to break the program if you try hard enough, it is stable and very much ready for use.
I wrote the program because I wanted something simpler than Moodle (and also because my school was not supporting Moodle at the time that I started the project). I love Moodle, and Moodle may be right for you, but it wasnt right for me, because I didnt want the course management system to take over my course web site. Basically, Roster-in-a-Box handles the homework and grading functions with a couple of web pages and leaves you on your own to design the rest of your course web site. That may or may not be what you want.
It should be quite simple to take my statistics modules (and the forthcoming microeconomics modules that I just havent gotten around to packaging) and get your own introductory statistics course up in no time. It is also quite simple to set up a course that consists of only text-based, manually-graded questions. On the other hand, if you want to write auto-graded assignments for some other purpose, you will have to know how to code them yourself. The structure of the modules should be somewhat self-explanatory to experienced programmers, but is probably daunting to those who do not know how to code. The entire program is written in PHP, and uses MySQL as a back-end database.
Version restrictions:
- There are things you could do while editing the assignment list that would leave it in an inconsistent state. For example, if you leave a page open, then open up a different page and make edits in that page, and then go back to the first page and save your changes, you may screw things up. I will get around to fixing this problem at some point, but in the mean time try not to do things like that.
- The program uses the PHP session variable, which by default times out after 24 minutes (supposedly due to security concerns). You should bug the web site administrator to lengthen the PHP system setting session.gc_maxlifetime to be as long as possible.
- By default, the system resets to the Spring semester on January 1st, the Summmer semester on May 15th, and the Fall semester on September 1st. I should probably make these dates editable somewhere in site_settings.php, but instead youll have to dig through administer.php and homework.php if you want to change them.
Enhancements:
- This has been used in a production environment for two years now, but the code has never been released.
