Aetherspace 'Aetherspace' is a project to produce multiplayer game that blends several different game genres. It is being developed by gamers as a way to learn programming. These games are currently under development and, while fun to look at, are not considered playable yet.

Dr genius Dr. Genius Refers to Geometric Exploration and Numeric Intuitive User System. It is a merge of two projects: Dr. Geo and the Genius calculator. The Genius Calculator is a multiple precision calculator with an interpreted language, GEL, plus a large mathematical library written in GEL. Dr. Geo is a vector drawing software with mathematical constraints- we call this "interactive geometry." This project was a GNU package. It has since been decommissioned and is no longer developed.

Dr. geo Lets user draw geometric figures based on mathematical properties and move part of that figure with respect to its properties. Dr. Geo is an educational package designed to explore geometry interactively (as opposed to seeing figures drawn on a sheet of paper). The interface is simple but efficient for younger users, can handle different languages, and can be used by either geometry or computer science teachers.

DrPython DrPython is a highly customizable, simple, and clean editing environment for developing Python programs. It is intended primarily for use in schools, and is a tribute to DrScheme.

FET FET is free software (using heuristic algorithms) for automatically generating the timetable of a school, high-school or university.

FroZenLight FroZenLight connects simple line art and mathematics. The source of light can be positioned so that either symmetric reflection patterns or secret messages (Cryptography) are created. Dozens of example light patterns and some math exercises are provided.

GenChemLab 'GenChemLab' is an OpenGL-based application intended to simulate several common general chemistry laboratory exercises. It is meant to be used to help students prepare for actual lab experience. Supported experiments include titration, calorimetry, freezing point depression, vapor pressure, electrochemistry, and spectrophotometry.

Gretools Gretools is a vocabulary building tool for GNOME. It is a fun and efficient way to learn words. It uses a modified version of the word list at http://pllab.kaist.ac.kr/~gladius/gre/, which has about 4000 words. Gretools consists of a synonym quiz and a word guessing game. It also allows you to look up words. It automatically remembers the words that gave you difficulty, and lets you revise them. You can set a filter to restrict the space of words used for practice. It is particularly useful for preparing for word tests.

Ignuit Ignuit is a memorization aid based on the Leitner flashcard system. It has a GNOME look and feel, a good selection of quiz options, and supports UTF-8. Cards can include embedded audio, images, and mathematical formulae (via LaTeX). It can import and export several file formats, including CSV. Ignuit can be used for both long-term learning and cramming.

KLearningAid 'KLearningAid' pops up kvtml file items on the desktop. Using KWordQuiz or FlashKard, produce kvtml files and load them into Klaid. It will grab all complete n x m related items (e.g. "Question" and "Answer", or "Word A" and "Word B") and display them periodically as PopUps on the your desktop. It is like someone is sitting behind you making sure you know all the terms for your next exam or test while surfing the web, coding, or whatever.

Kalcul The player has 16 cards with numbers. An operation is displayed on a small screen at the right of the board. You have to click on the right answer on the board. The card with the answer disappears. Kalcul supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There are 3 levels: easy, medium and hard.

Kronophobia 'Kronophobia' is a complete event-based school calendaring system that supports recurrence, transportation assignments, alerts, parent/public registration, custom reports, event tracking, and e-mail notification.

Ksociograma 'ksociograma' is a tecnical software for teachers. It lets teachers make sociograms, a 2D network representation, for a group of students. It is very useful to understand and predict inter-group relations. The package is currently available in English, Italian and Spanish.

LPT Interface The 'LPT Interface' application is great for students. With 'LPT Interface' pupils can control the parallel port's Data Port (eight bits) and to see the value of the Status Port Bits (four bits: 4,5,6,7).

Lavengro Lavengro is a vocabulary test engine that uses text files as its tests. The user creates the tests themselves. It has a tutor mode, a test mode, and a CBT learning mode. Both versions (Lavengro in the console, Lavengro_B in the browser) have an automated installation program for GNU/Linux, but Lavengro is OS-neutral and can be used anywhere Python is supported.

LinSmith linSmith is a Smith charting program mainly designed for educational use. As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation. Users can enter either discrete components or transmission lines, then see the results on screen or generate Postscript output. Component values can be changed numerically or using scrollbars. Problems can be solved on-screen, and high-quality Postscript can be output for publication.

Its features include

• Definition of multiple load impedances (at different frequencies)
• Addition of discrete (L, C and transformer) and line components (open and closed stubs)
• Connection in series and parallel
• A 'virtual' component switches from impedance to admittance to help understand parallel components
• Charts that work in real impedances (not normalized ones)
• Generates a 'log' file with textual results at each intermediate step
• Stores load and circuit configuration separately, permitting several solutions without re-defining the other.

PurpleView PurpleView is a paper review system designed to help distributed project development. It serves as a collection of materials relevant to a field of interest, and its review capability lets users distinguish between good/relevant items and bad/ irrelevant ones. Papers are submitted to different Categories and Platforms, which helps classify them. The data is both sortable and searchable. There are discussion forums for each item, notifications and message boards, and security logins and automated database backups that assure the system's accountability and availability.

Spotter Spotter lets students check their answers to math and science questions. It tells whether the answer is correct, and can also help diagnose an incorrect answer; the instructor can also add hints. Spotter isn't limited to numerical problems. For instance, if the problem is to solve the equation x-b-7a=0 for x, the student can type in either b+7a or 7a+b as the answer, and the program will know it's correct. Spotter is set up as an interactive web page that you can access through any computer that has an internet connection and a web browser.

Stellarium 'Stellarium' simulates the skies from anywhere on Earth in close to photo-realism. It is a beautiful and engaging way to explore and increase your understanding of the night sky. Users can see constellation art, deep space objects, meteor showers, solar eclipses, transits, and more. It is particularly useful as an educational tool.

Tau Tau is a advanced attendance utility with a simple web interface which can perform most of the tasks of everyday personnel and student management. It provides high security and also manages data regarding classes, courses, departments, and students and their time-tables. It can also be used to generate various kinds of complex reports manage personal schedules, and create dynamic timetable formats. Tau is written in PHP 3.x and uses PostgreSQL as the backend database.
