- flydraw: command-line drawing tool
flydraw is a drawing tool based on an interpreter which parses a
language featuring rich graphic primitives; it uses libgd to output
GIF, JPEG, or PNG files.
- wims: server for educational content: courses, exercises, and exams
The WWW Interactive Multipurpose Server is an educational platform
originally developed for mathematics but now also supporting subjects such
as physics, chemistry, biology, and languages.
.
WIMS features a rich set of resources and exercises either for
autodidactical use or for training classes, including:
.
* exercises with automatic feedback and correction, allowing the
learners to work at their own pace;
* interactive exercises with randomly assigned data, allowing the
learners to work on the same type of exercise but with different
data and as often as they wish;
* exercises with an automatic scoring system, which enhances learner
motivation;
* user-friendly graphics and calculation tools;
* courses and documents with hyperlinks to the exercise pool;
examples in the courses can be made random, so the student can get
more than one instance of an illustration for tricky concepts;
* support for exams with pre-published contents. As each individual
exam will have randomly chosen data, training is possible but
writing each response in advance is not.
.
This package contains the WIMS FastCGI server, serving Open Exercise
Format (OEF) documents. OEF is a very high-level language which
allows authors to focus on pedagogical issues.
- wims-java-applets: applets for modules used by WIMS
WIMS uses modules to implement every user interface beyond its main page.
Some of them depend on Java applets; this package provides the collection
of free applets which are maintained upstream.
.
Some interesting applets like Jmol are missing, since they still cannot
be built from their source with free/libre compilers. You can get them
from their upstream developers.
- wims-modules: minimal set of modules used by WIMS
WIMS uses modules to implement every user interface beyond its main page,
including administrative tasks, help, mathematic tools, libraries, and a
few interactive exercises.
.
To get the thousands of exercises which give WIMS its power, consider
installing the recommended package wims-extra-all (or other packages
which provide wims-extra).
.
Other educational materials can be downloaded outside of the Debian
system by automated updates. See http://wimsedu. info
