ATutor

ATutor is a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. It is open-source software written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. This allows for free use, modification, and distribution of the software.

ATutor aims to provide instructors with the tools to create and manage online courses, and to provide students with a learning environment that is accessible to individuals with diverse abilities. The platform adheres to accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) to ensure content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, including those using assistive technologies.

Key features of ATutor include course management tools for instructors, content authoring features, student tracking and reporting, communication tools like forums and messaging, and social networking capabilities to foster collaboration among learners. The system also supports SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), a standard for packaging and delivering e-learning content.

The modular architecture of ATutor allows for the extension of its functionality through add-ons and modules. This allows institutions to customize the system to meet their specific needs and integrate with other systems. ATutor is used by educational institutions, organizations, and individuals for online learning and training purposes.
