Description:
ATutor is an Open Source Web-based Learning Content Management
System (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in
mind.
Administrators can install or update ATutor in minutes, and
develop custom templates to give ATutor a new look. Educators can
quickly assemble, package, and redistribute Web-based instructional
content, easily retrieve and import prepackaged content, and
conduct their courses online. Students learn in an adaptive
learning environment.
ATutor is the first fully inclusive LCMS, complying with the
W3C WCAG 1.0 accessibility specifications at the AA+ level,
allowing access to all potential learners, instructors, and
administrators, including those with disabilities who may be
accessing the system using assistive technologies. Conformance with
W3C XHTML 1.0 specifications ensures that ATutor is presented
consistently in any standards compliant technology.
ATutor has also adopted the IMS/SCORM Content Packaging
specifications, allowing content developers to create reusable
content that can be swapped between different e-learning systems.
Content created in other IMS or SCORM comformant systems can be
imported into ATutor, and visa versa. ATutor also includes a SCORM
1.2 Runtime Environment (LMS RTE3) for playing and managing SCORM
based Sharable Content Objects (SCOs).
ATutor's base in Open Source technology makes it a cost
effective tool for both small and large organizations presenting
their instructional materials on the Web, or delivering fully
independent online courses. Comprehensive help is available through
the ATutor HowTo documentation, through a number of support
services, or through the public forums, and full language support
is available through the ATutor Translation Site.
