WIMS (WWW Interactive Mathematics Server) is a CGI Web application
designed to host interactive mathematical educational activities such as
exercises, computational math, and graphing tools. It features automatic
score processing with strong anti-cheating mechanisms, virtual classes
allowing teachers to guide/control student works, online exercise
creation, animated graphics, a message board allowing inline mathematical
formulas, and more. It can also be easily used for education within other
disciplines.

Changes: This release includes some new modules, and a couple of bugfixes.

License: GPL - Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

The URL is: http://wims.unice.fr/

The way it is done looks interesting, since it runs on the web server and
would require the software to be installed on a computer already running
Apache and all the client computers need is a web browser.
