My project, called EIS (Educational Information System) is an attempt to 
produce an information system suitable for use in any school or university. The 
system should handle all logistic tasks such as students and teacher rosters, 
courses catalog, grade books and scheduling.

It will also include a course publication module. This module will allow the 
teacher to publish courses and the students to navigate in those courses. The 
content presented should automaticaly adapt to the pedagogical needs of the 
students.

Other features that will be included, but are not yet under development are : 
        - Quizzes,
        - Online exercises,
        - Automatic schedule generation,
        - Computer aided course composition.

The application is based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition framework and uses 
XML to handle data. Currently the application uses only a web interface 
(Intranet and Extranet) but the framework allows for more sophisticated 
interfaces.

It already exists and you can see it at 
http://mainline.essi.fr/wiki/bin/view/Eis/ BUT the application and the web site 
are still on an early stage of development.
