About LogiCampus :

LogiCampus is a distance learning and course management system that is freely available to colleges, universities and schools. LogiCampus was built in conjunction with Tarrant County College Center for Distance Learning of Fort Worth, Tx. LogiCampus allows a college, university, or school district to run existing classes or online learning classes via the web as well as provide the foundation for an institution to create additional integrated applications.... read more

LogiCampus is a web-based, enterprise-wide classroom and campus management system. Developed in conjunction with educators, the system provides rich functionality for students, teachers and administrators, including forums, gradebook, exams, chat, etc.

Today, the CVS branch of LogiCampus was officially shut down. All development will now begin using the Subversion branch.

User Diego found a bug in the assessment manager which didn't allow for test questions to be displayed properly in 2.0.3. This release fixes that problem with the assessment manager.

This release is not recommended for production use as there still exist a number of known bugs. However, you are encouraged to download and test out the new features and give your feedback.

New features include:

* Brand new content management for lesson documents.
* New lesson structure allows for easier document integration.
* Simple mode for running classes without administrative overhead
* Self-paced courses, content becomes available as the learner progresses through the lesson.

This is a maintenance release from 2.0.2 and is supported and recommended for production use. The installer has been updated to accommodate more installation environments.

If you had troubles installing before you should try this release. If you have a working 2.0.2 installation there is no need to upgrade to 2.0.3.

From ohloh.net:

"Across all PHP projects on Ohloh, 10% of all source code lines are comments. For LogiCampus, this figure is 16%.

"This very impressive number of comments puts LogiCampus among the best 10% of all PHP projects on Ohloh.

"A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team. "... read more

LogiCampus is looking for installations of versions 1 or 2.0 to help testing of the next version of LogiCampus, 2.1. There are many changes to the database structure and we need an installation with enough uploaded documents and lesson content to help build updating tools. This would not affect any live installation, but would simply involve donating a copy of the target database to LogiCampus developers.

A relatively minor set of changes make up this 2.0.2 release. Users with production environments should upgrade at their earliest convenience. Changes include:

* fix to some font sizes in the private message display screens.
* fix to admin panel for deleting users.
* fix for teacher to directly enroll students in their classroom.
* fix to the herc menu system.
* new Tree library version.

Quickly our users found 3 bugs in the 2.0 release. Fixed in this release:

* Inability to change profile passwords.
* Wrong withdrawl date show for student enrollment
* PHP5 error when attempting to grade an assignemnt as a teacher.

Thanks to Robert Pike and Hitesh Bhavsar for finding these bugs.

Hitesh Bhavsar found a bug in the profile section of logicampus 2.0 which will not let users update their own password. A fixed users module is available for download in the patches section of the sourceforge project page. Simply unzip this file into your logicreate/services folder.

LogiCampus is continuing to break groupd in the on-line learning arena with its 2.0 release. This release includes *simple mode* which makes it a breeze to setup classes without administrative oversight. Why wait for your other LMS to catch up in features? Download LogiCampus today.

Other Major Changes:

* Better installer
* New templates
* Section numbers not required
* Semester-less classes
* Self registration
* Simple mode
* PHP5 support
* Mysql 5 support
* Sqlite support
* Java applet for recording voice homework
* More flexible class syllabus
* Redesigned classroom portal page
* Redesigned classroom manager page

This release fixes some problem with the broken installer. The packaging system missed the new installer files for 1.9.2. You do not need to upgrade to this release if somehow you got 1.9.2 installed on your own.

A new Java applet for recording audio responses to homework has been added. Although it's not quite as polished as it could be, it does function properly now.

LogiCampus has been downloaded over 10,000 times. We don't actually know who the lucky ten thousandths downloader was, but that's okay because we don't have any prizes for that person.

Our QA engineers found quite a few small bugs just after the 1.9.0 release. 1.9.1 works better with PHP5, fixes some gradebook issues, and has lots of minor fixes here and there.

A preview of the upcoming 2.0 version has been released. Use this only for testing and demonstration purposes.

Short list of new features includes:
* Better installer
* New templates
* Section numbers not required
* Semester-less classes
* Self registration
* Simple mode
* PHP5 support
* Mysql 5 support
* Sqlite support

A preview release of 1.1.6 has been uploaded to the demo. It contains a new module to allow students to register themselves for courses. This can be turned on and off in the settings.php file.

The demo has been updated to version 1.1.4 and all the sample data has been reset. New features include:
* New chat system
* Fixes to the calendar
* New forum system

The initial package of 1.1.3 had a few files from previous releases. Although not harmful, it could be confusing when unpacking the archive. A fixed archive has been uploaded in its place.

This is a small bug fix release which also includes a new chat system. This chat uses the javascript XMLHttp request objects in modern browsers. Requirements include a recent version of Firefox, IE, Konqueror, or Safari. A short list of changes and links to the webtest reports follows:

This release chiefly consists of the new forum system, but it also contains a number of small bug fixes. Don't forget to run the patches for 1.1.1 to 1.1.2. There is an important fix for people who have copied a class from one semester to another. The fix is to correct assessment dates in the calendar views. Both patches should be run, as the first one is a required patch, even if you haven't copied classes from one semester to another.... read more

This is a big release, folks. There are lots of little fixes and a few big ones. It's been almost a month since 1.1.0 was released. This latest version is the first to go through automatic testing thanks to Canoo webtest. Although we haven't found any bugs yet with the testing, it is raising some questions about some usability issues. Links to the test resuls as well as a short list of new features follows:... read more
