OpenUSS Beta 1.2 is out!

OpenUSS - Open University Support System

OpenUSS is a J2EE- and GPL-based E-Learning platform. OpenUSS ist an
infrastructure software for every Organizations, which have a need
to build an E-Learning platform:
- universities,
- schools,
- training companies and
- other companies, which offer direct training to their workers.

Like
-> Apache for web server,
-> JBoss and JOnAS for EJB server,
-> Tomcat for servlet server,
OpenUSS is targeted to take over the market for Learning Management
Systems (LMS). At least we believe that, LMS are also general-purpose,
commoditized, horizontal infrastructure software.
-> OpenUSS for LMS server! Yes ;-)

OpenUSS Version 1.2 Beta.

the discussion component faster.

of "delete" "lschen", so we can save some places for
the "real" text.

No need to install Enhydra or JOnAS!

HTML files incl. pictures etc. These files won't be saved
in the database. They will be saved directly in the web
server directory.
- Quiz Component

an exercise with a well-defined answer. All the students
can afterwards download it and send their answer.
The Quiz Component will then check the answer automatically
and put the right answer in the top ten list.
