CascadeLMS Home
CascadeLMS (Learning Management System) if a complete, integrated, online courseware solution. CascadeLMS was formerly known as Computer Science CourseWare or CSCW and has been renamed since we have expanded well beyond exclusive support for Computer Science courses.
CascadeLMS started in 2006. I (Mike Helmick) developed a small Web application allowing students to enter journals while working on class projects. And from there, a comprehensive course/learning management system was built. Journaling during assignments is still a key feature of CascadeLMS.
