Asset Sharing
Posted November 14, 2010
By mike
Hello CascadeLMS users.
We have just release some new sharing features, available on the master branch.
It is now possible to share assignments, documents, blog posts, and rubrics for your course with instructors of other courses. This makes it much easier for multiple sections of the same course share assets during the semester.
More great features are in the works!

CascadeLMS 1.3 complete
Posted August 19, 2009
By mike
The CascadeLMS 1.3 milestone is complete.
I still don’t have installation instructions…. but I’m working on it. Doing the first production install tomorrow night @ muohio.edu.
Migration to Background Job Complete
Posted August 8, 2009
By mike
One of the biggest work items for the 1.3 release is now complete. CascadeLMS now uses Background Job. This looks to be more stable than the backgroundRb framework previously in use.
I’ve also resolved another quick ticket (#15) that allows point values in rubrics to be decimal number, rather than integer only.
Tickets resolved:
Work Starting Up
Posted August 2, 2009
By mike
I’m getting back work work adding features and closing out bugs for CascadeLMS 1.3. I took a few weeks off and enjoyed the beautiful summer weather in Seattle.
I will be pushing commits to github and updating the blog when there are major developments.
AutoGrader on GitHub
Posted July 9, 2009
By mike
I’ve created a page (at http://www.cascadelms.org/autograder/) for my AutoGrader project. This source code has also moved from my personal SVN onto GitHub.
I haven’t updated this source code since I was last at Miami University (2007), but at that time the project worked great (for my purposes).
AutoGrader is described in my ITiCSE 2007 publication, “Interface-based programming assignments and automatic grading of java programs“
Some Coding Going On
Posted June 14, 2009
By mike
I’ve stared doing some coding for the 1.3 milestone.
The major feature being added is better installation instructions. So far I’ve fixed a few things up in the code. The next step will be to get CascadeLMS running with phushion passenger and providing easy to follow install instructions.
I’ve got a clean linux VM ready in Parallels, so that should be the next task.
