- LMS name:Eledge Open Learning Management System
- Brief description:This software, developped by the University of Utah, is designed to provide the framework for creating a web site for online instruction, including student registration, authentication, content creation, quizzes, exams, homework graders, report uploads, instructor gradebook, class calendar, and online help. Eledge does not provide knowledge content; we only provide a convenient, flexible way for instructors to make their course materials accessible to students over the Internet.
Eledge consists of a collection of Java servlets that utilize a MySQL database back end to store information and course content. The Java programming language, MySQL database and Eledge itself are all open source distributions that can be downloaded free. You can even download the Linux operating system, Apache webserver and Tomcat servlet engine free of charge if you choose to use them. If you want distribution media or product support, you may have to pay a fee to these vendors, but you don't have to. - Official project page: http://eledge.sourceforge.net/
