A web-based course-ware product that handles a single classes website. It supports news, a file library, quizzes and grades.

Project Description

pyCourse is a web-based course-ware product written in Python. I teach a class on Web Servers at SAIT ( http://sait.ab.ca ) and wanted something that allowed for the following:

• News page students can check to find homework due dates, readings, etc.
• File library where I can easily post files I want to share with my students
• Online gradebook. I can enter grades online and students can view them immediatly (and privately). Also like to see class averages for everything.
• Online quizzes. Multiple choice exams which automatically are graded and entered into the grade books.
• Supports SSL if required
• Runs on Windows, Linux, and anything else with Python

So far pyCourse does all of the above. In the future I would like to add things like student file submissions (for assignments) and maybe some forums.

pyCourse was built using CherryPy, a python web application server building package.

Requirements

• Python 2.2+
