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 now has a Google group that will allow us to have a mailing list and discussion boards. Access it at http://groups.google.com/group/cascadelms
Inside of CascadeLMS, we are working on some exciting new social features. We hope to have those ready in time for spring semesters everyone (check your local listing for appropriate season).
I’ve put up a demo site for CascadeLMS – http://demo.cascadelms.org
If you are interested in an account, please email cascade.demo@cascadelms.org.
CascadeLMS 1.4 has been released.
This release includes a full user interface refresh, extended assessment capabilities (aimed at helping your get your program accredited), and several bug fixes.
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.
The Git repository is now online, via github. Everything can be accessed at http://github.com/mikehelmick/CascadeLMS/tree/master
I’ve also set up ticket tracking – you can file bug reports at http://cascadelms.lighthouseapp.com/projects/31831-cascadelms/tickets
As you can probably see, we have a new Web design, a new project name, AND a new logo:
Computer Science CourseWare (CSCW – cscourseware.org) has been renamed CascadeLMS.
We have moved well beyond functionality specific enough for computer science classes, and now offer features to support entire departments and entire institutions.
More exciting news is coming soon – a new version control repository at github, new issue tracking…. and better installation instructions.
Please stay tuned!
