I've been doing a lot of work on Whiteboard this summer, making future plans and writing some code. Check back soon for details about what is coming up.

Whiteboard is a fully-featured and -integrated courseware system, targeted toward colleges and universities. It supports multiple departments and courses (including cross-listed courses); simple migration of courses to new semesters; grade storage, checking, and calculation; assignment submission and testing, and submitted assignment retrieval; documents; announcements; and discussion boards. It is written in PHP with a MySQL back-end, and is fully administrable through its web interface.... read more

Whiteboard Courseware System 1.0.1 has been released. Whiteboard is a fully-featured and -integrated courseware system targeted at colleges and universities. It is currently stable and is being used in production. This is a bug-fix version. See home page and demo at http://whiteboard.sourceforge.net , and SourceForge.net project page (download) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/whiteboard/ .

As this is Whiteboard's first public release, it is at a critical stage in its development. Especially if you have first-hand experience with educational courseware in an administrative, teaching, or student capacity, or if you just like the idea of creating a viable open-source alternative in what is a predominately closed-source area of software, get involved and help plan (and write) the future of this project. Useful qualities include general knowledge of educational courseware and its usage; skills in PHP programming, MySQL and other databases, graphics and web design, documentation, and project planning and management; and access to a server that could host the demo that is currently running pathetically slowly on this site.
