This page is for questions and answers regarding the Edventure Course Management System.


Q: What is Edventure?

A: Edventure is a course management system that allows teachers and students to interact via the Web. It is written in PHP and has a SQL interface (Postgresql, MySQL, etc.) to the data. Edventure could be used to replace proprietary programs, such as Black Board or WebCT, at a university or K-12 school.

Edventure is a free software system licensed under the GNU General Public License. Sometimes this type of software is called "open source". Free doesn't necessarily mean that you don't pay money for it, but it does mean that you have many freedoms with access to, and uses of, the soure code.
