Running a school means juggling lesson plans, timetables, attendance, behaviour notes, and grades all at once; Gibbon gives teachers, students, parents, and administrators one shared web system for that daily work. Teachers build lessons from reusable Smart Blocks, assemble them into units with learning outcomes, set and collect homework online, and grade the results in a colour-coded markbook that stays linked to every class. The timetabling engine builds schedules from reusable day structures, ties them to real calendar dates, handles exceptions, books rooms and facilities, and shows every student and teacher exactly where they should be. Attendance can be taken by form group, class, or individual student, with future absences recorded ahead of time and reports ready for emergencies or truancy follow-up. Behaviour records log the good alongside the bad using your school's own descriptors and severity levels, notify form tutors when something needs attention, and surface patterns across a student's history. Each student's profile pulls timetable, attendance, behaviour, library, and assessment information into one page, while activities sign-ups, a school-wide resource library, and departmental scope-and-sequence views keep the wider community connected. Because every module can be switched on or off per role and extended with community modules, the same platform fits a small primary school and a large secondary school in 26 languages.

Frappe LMS is a learning management system built on the same Frappe Framework that powers ERPNext. The 3-level course hierarchy organizes content into courses, chapters, and lessons supporting videos, PDFs, SCORM packages, and rich HTML content with heading, code block, and list formatting through the redesigned inline lesson editor. Batch management groups learners by course and duration with scheduled instructor-led live sessions through integrated Zoom and Google Meet, where learners see upcoming classes on their batch dashboard. The assessment engine supports single-choice, multiple-choice, and open-ended quiz questions alongside assignment submissions as PDFs or documents, with progress tracking monitoring completion rates and quiz performance across all enrolled courses. Certificate generation uses built-in templates or custom designs to validate course completion, while the job board connects certified learners with opportunities. Course monetization integrates payment processing to transform courses into revenue streams with financial tracking. Role-based access controls assign Instructor, Learner, Admin, and Manager permissions, while course package import and export enables sharing structured content between instances. The platform integrates with ERPNext HR and CRM modules through the Frappe ecosystem with RTL language support and notification slide-overs. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.

Moodle gives teachers a place to build courses and learners a place to work through them, with quizzes, assignments, grading, and progress tracking on a learning platform you host yourself. Custom or weekly sections sit beside a course index, and Previous and Next buttons walk learners through activities in order. The activity chooser adds forums, wikis, glossaries, lessons, H5P content, and SCORM packages. Question banks can be shared across courses and track every edit, and quizzes combine calculated, ordering, and essay questions with due dates and Safe Exam Browser settings. Assignments offer in-browser PDF annotation, rubrics, and marking guides, and with a marking workflow several markers can leave separate feedback before grades are released. Peer assessment runs through workshops, competency frameworks feed learning plans, and Open Badges recognize achievement. With learning outcomes enabled, a course page lists each outcome beside the activities linked to it. Learners follow deadlines on a dashboard timeline, message classmates, and take course content offline in the official mobile app. Sign-in works through email self-registration, LDAP, Shibboleth, OAuth 2, or LTI, and enrollment through keys, cohorts, flat files, or PayPal. Administrators assign roles, build custom reports, and upload plugin ZIP files. AI actions can run on providers including OpenAI, Azure AI, Gemini, Ollama, and Anthropic Claude, and a course-level report shows how students use them.

Used daily by millions of educators and learners in over 65 languages and embedded as the default virtual classroom in Moodle Cloud, Canvas, Sakai, D2L, Jenzabar, and Schoology — together comprising more than 75% of the worldwide learning management system market — BigBlueButton has been the leading open-source web conferencing platform for education since its creation at Carleton University in 2007. The platform delivers WebRTC-based real-time audio, video, and screen sharing with a tldraw v2-powered multi-user whiteboard featuring infinite canvas support, allowing multiple participants to annotate slides and draw simultaneously. Breakout rooms support up to eight concurrent groups with collaborative whiteboards enabled by default, and polling with customizable response types lets instructors assess understanding in real time. The built-in Learning Analytics Dashboard answers three questions at a glance: who is attending, who is participating, and who is learning based on poll responses, providing actionable engagement metrics without requiring webcam surveillance. Session recording captures audio, video, slides, chat, and whiteboard annotations for asynchronous playback on any device. The plugin architecture introduced in version 3.0 enables custom extensions, while IMS LTI 1.0 compliance allows integration with Blackboard, Desire2Learn, Pearson Learning Studio, and any conformant platform without custom code. The REST API enables programmatic session management, user authentication, and recording access for custom frontends like the included Greenlight application. Version 4.0 introduces LiveKit-based media and a redesigned interface. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Schools, training companies, and HR teams use Chamilo LMS to publish courses, guide learners step by step, and prove completion with grades, badges, and certificates. Teachers build courses from documents, videos, and 360 media, then arrange them into learning paths that unlock in sequence and track every learner's progress. Quizzes offer more than twenty question types with randomized draws, time limits, and adaptive testing, while assignments accept submissions, support co-grading, and plug into plagiarism checks. The gradebook turns scores into certificates with QR codes, and skills frameworks record competency levels as learners advance. Sessions let one course run for many cohorts on different calendars, attendance tools handle sign-in and Qualiopi style reporting, and the course catalogue can even sell enrolments through its e-commerce module. Discussion forums, live chat, surveys, and videoconference integrations keep classes social, and SCORM, QTI, LTI, and xAPI support means existing content and external tools slot in without conversion projects. Administrators import users in bulk, connect LDAP or OAuth2 logins, and export personal data for GDPR requests; learners get all of it in more than sixty languages, including right-to-left scripts.

Websites such as Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and Stack Overflow pack into single ZIM files, and Kiwix Serve publishes a folder of them as a searchable library that opens in any browser, with no connection to the originals. Point it at individual files, a directory, or a library file, and visitors get a welcome page where they filter books by language, category, or words in the title and description. Each book opens in a built-in viewer without downloading the archive, with toolbar buttons for the library, a random article, and in-book search. Title suggestions appear as you type, and full-text search returns highlighted snippets from indexed books, across several at once when they share a language. OPDS catalogs let reader apps browse and fetch the collection, and the library reloads automatically when its file changes. Admins can swap in a custom welcome page, publish under a URL prefix, hide the library button or search box, block links that leave the archive, and cap connections per visitor. Interface translations cover dozens of languages. Universities, community networks, and home labs get a reference shelf that stays available when the original sites are slow, blocked, or gone, with developer documentation and Q&A always within reach. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Report cards, attendance rosters, class schedules, discipline logs, and fee statements all live in one browser-based system with RosarioSIS, an open-source student information system for K-12 schools and similar institutions. Administrators define marking periods in up to three tiers, set grade levels and daily periods, and search students by gender, grade level, schedule, absences, GPA, or class rank. The scheduler places whole classes or a single student, and runs in test mode each time a student's requests are saved, so conflicts can be resolved with the student still in front of you. Teachers keep a weighted gradebook with grade ranges, progress reports, report cards, and transcripts, take attendance electronically, and use the eligibility feature to flag who may join athletic or academic activities. Discipline logs, student billing with fees, payments, balances, and statements, food service, and accounting complete the core modules. Parents and students get their own portal, new families can register online, listings export to Excel, CSV, or XML, and charts and PDF documents support decisions and paperwork. The interface adapts to tablets and phones and is translated into a dozen languages. Add-on modules bring email, library, hostel, Jitsi Meet video rooms, and Moodle integration.

In continuous open-source development since 2009, Etherpad is the original really-real-time collaborative editor - used by Wikimedia, governments, EU public-sector institutions, and tens of thousands of self-hosters. Its core idea is visible authorship: every keystroke is attributed with author colors, every revision preserved, and the timeslider lets you scrub through a document's entire history character by character. Multiple people type into the same pad and see each other's changes instantly - it scales to thousands of simultaneous editors per pad. The base install is deliberately lightweight; capability comes from roughly 290 plugins installable from the admin web UI: comments, images, tables, drawing, video chat via WebRTC, math rendering, code highlighting, and authentication via OAuth, LDAP, or OpenID. AI is pointedly a plugin, not a default - you choose the model and infrastructure, or never turn it on. There is no telemetry. For integrators, an HTTP API (with OpenAPI definitions at /api/openapi.json) manages pads, users, and groups for embedding in your own applications, and the ueberDB abstraction layer supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and SQLite backends. Full data export is built in, the format is open, it is translated into 105 languages, and it runs on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a server farm. Apache 2.0 licensed, Node.js based.

Developed by Tsinghua University researchers and validated across more than 700 students, OpenMAIC converts raw prompts, PDFs, Office documents, audio, and video into complete, multi-agent virtual learning environments. The platform leverages Next.js, LangGraph state machines, and a pluggable `@openmaic/storage` layer to orchestrate autonomous AI professors and student avatars that lecture, debate at roundtables, answer inquiries, and illustrate complex equations on a real-time SVG whiteboard. Its Pro Agent Workbench features durable PostgreSQL-backed sessions, twenty specialized curriculum-building skills, and granular JSON Patch slide editing with full `.pptx` import fidelity. OpenMAIC supports rich scene modalities including automated quiz grading, Project-Based Learning milestones, and Deep Interactive Mode offering in-browser code execution, interactive mind maps, and Three.js 3D physics simulations. Built-in audio pipelines connect with VoxCPM2 for zero-shot voice cloning, Azure STT, and FunASR for speech recognition, alongside a dedicated Chromium-FFmpeg rendering microservice for one-click MP4 video exports. Flexible model routing interfaces seamlessly with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, DeepSeek, and local Ollama or Lemonade instances, while OpenClaw integration enables direct classroom generation from Slack, Discord, Feishu, and Telegram.

A Node.js server, a large shared canvas, and a URL - WBO (Whiteboard Ophir) is collaborative whiteboarding reduced to its essence. There are no accounts and no setup - to collaborate, you send someone the board's link, and every stroke appears for all connected users in real time over WebSockets, with cursor positions shared so you can see where collaborators are working. Board state persists automatically and continuously, so a diagram drawn in today's lesson is still there next week at the same URL. Boards come in three flavors: a public free-for-all, private boards with random unguessable names, and named boards with custom URLs shared by anyone who knows the name. The tools cover teaching and brainstorming needs - pencil, straight lines, rectangles, ellipses, text annotations, eraser, a full color palette with brush sizes - and boards export as SVG or PNG. Despite the simplicity, the server is production-minded: JWT authentication gates board access with granular capabilities (open, edit, and clear as separate permissions), rate limiting caps per-client message volume, reverse-proxy and subpath deployment are supported, and OpenTelemetry provides metrics, logs, and traces. It works on tablets and touch devices, speaks multiple languages, and consumes minimal resources. AGPL-licensed.

Built for ICPC-style programming contests, DOMjudge takes team submissions, judges them in a restricted sandbox, and posts a live scoreboard. Each team gets its own page. There they read the problem set, submit source code from the browser or a command line client, follow verdicts, and send clarification requests. Judges see every submission, judging run, and output diff. They verify results and rejudge a single submission or everything for a language, problem, team, or judgehost. Administrators schedule activation, start, freeze, end, and unfreeze times, import teams, categories, affiliations, and problems in bulk, and watch a traffic-light status for every team. The public scoreboard freezes for the final stretch and exports as a static HTML page. Judgehosts compile and run each solution with time and memory limits in languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, Kotlin, Go, and Haskell, with custom validators and interactive problems when a task calls for them. Balloon runners get a delivery queue. Clarifications sort into categories. Open contests accept self-registration. The Contest API and event feed connect external scoreboards, and a shadow mode compares results against another system.

With 34,000+ GitHub stars and a v1.5 release driven by 36 merged community pull requests, DeepTutor from Hong Kong University's Data Science Lab delivers a full agent-native learning workspace that goes far beyond chatbot wrappers. Eight integrated surfaces — Chat, Deep Solve, Quiz Generation, Deep Research, Math Animator, Co-Writer, Book generation, and Mastery Practice — share a unified context so the objective follows the learner, not the tool. The platform's three-layer memory architecture (L1 working, L2 session, L3 long-term) makes personalization inspectable rather than opaque, letting users see exactly what the system remembers and why. Knowledge retrieval operates across five pluggable engines — LlamaIndex with FAISS vectors, PageIndex for page-level citations, GraphRAG for knowledge-graph traversal, LightRAG for local or server-offloaded retrieval, and linked Obsidian vaults — with document parsing via MinerU, Docling, markitdown, or PyMuPDF4LLM. Partners extend the tutoring brain to 15+ messaging platforms including Slack, Discord, Telegram, Matrix with E2EE, and Mattermost, each carrying private memory with branch, resume, and replay capabilities. Subagent integration brings Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Kimi directly into learning sessions. The system supports 30+ LLM providers from OpenAI and Anthropic to Ollama for fully local operation, with multi-user isolation, admin controls, and a full CLI interface. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

One server, a login for everyone, and a private JupyterLab in every browser tab: that is the whole pitch, and for classrooms and research teams it is transformative. JupyterHub authenticates each user against your existing identity system (campus OAuth, GitHub, Google, LDAP, or local accounts), then spawns a dedicated single-user server just for them, with their files, their kernels, and their compute allocation. Users open notebooks, terminals, and extensions in JupyterLab without installing anything, and their environment is identical whether they log in from a lab workstation or a laptop at home. The Spawner decides where those servers live: plain processes on one machine for a small class, Docker containers for isolation, or Kubernetes pods that scale across a cluster for a whole university. Administrators manage users, groups, and named servers from the admin panel, grant precise permissions through roles and scopes, and watch start times and profiles for every running server. External services plug into the Hub API, so dashboards, autograders, and portals can authenticate through the same OAuth machinery. When a user disappears for the semester break, culling stops their idle server and frees the resources.

When the connection drops, Project NOMAD keeps serving offline Wikipedia, Khan Academy courses, maps, and an optional private AI assistant from a single Debian-based Linux server. The core needs only about 5 GB of disk and under 1 GB of RAM. Content is what fills the drive, and a setup wizard sorts it into Essential, Standard, and Comprehensive tiers while a storage bar tracks the running total. Wikipedia runs from a quick-reference set of the top 100,000 articles to the complete English edition with images at about 121 GB, and Kiwix also serves medical references, survival and repair guides, and Project Gutenberg ebooks. Kolibri adds Khan Academy courses with multi-user progress tracking, and any browser on the network can study. Offline maps cover the whole globe, single countries, or regions, with markers you can search, color, and navigate to by coordinate. The AI assistant is the heavy part, bringing the install to roughly 25 GB. It chats through Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible server such as LM Studio, searches uploaded documents, lists sources with dates when known, and lets vision models read attached images. CyberChef handles encoding and hashing, and FlatNotes keeps Markdown notes. The Supply Depot adds one-click apps or your own Docker containers. Opt-in auto-updates for the Command Center, installed apps, and downloaded content run inside a window you set.

Starred by over 6,500 users on GitHub and trusted by organizations including Toyota, CTFd has been the leading open-source platform for hosting cybersecurity competitions since 2015, providing everything needed to run professional Capture The Flag events through a clean web-based administration panel without touching a database query. The framework supports both individual and team-based competitions with automatic tie resolution, configurable score freezing, and scoregraphs comparing the top teams with detailed progress tracking. Challenge creation offers static and regex-based flags, dynamic scoring that adjusts point values based on solve count, unlockable hints purchasable with points, file attachments uploaded to local storage or Amazon S3-compatible backends, and challenge attempt limits with automatic bruteforce protection. Version 3.8 introduced challenge logic fields controlling flag submission behavior with any, all, and team modes, integrated dynamic scoring into the standard challenge type, participant ratings and reviews on challenges, and admin-stored challenge solutions viewable after competition. The Markdown-based content management system enables custom pages for rules, FAQs, and resources, while SMTP and Mailgun integration handles email confirmation and password recovery. The plugin architecture supports custom challenge types, flag validators, and scoring algorithms, while the theme system provides complete visual customization. Import and export functionality preserves entire competition configurations for archival and reuse across events.

LearnHouse delivers a modern open-source learning platform that replaces proprietary course builders with a self-hosted alternative shipping a rich feature set out of the box. The Tiptap-powered block editor supports videos, documents, embeds, quizzes, and file uploads in a Notion-like interface with real-time co-editing powered by Hocuspocus and Yjs CRDT synchronization over WebSocket. AI tutoring integrates Google Gemini and LlamaIndex for RAG-powered context-aware assistance that adapts to course content, while interactive Playgrounds use AI to generate simulations, diagrams, and learning exercises. The platform handles the full course lifecycle: chapters and activities organize into collections and learning paths, assignments support automated and manual grading, and code blocks execute student submissions in 30+ languages with auto-grading. Analytics dashboards track learner engagement, progress, and completion rates in real time. The backend runs on FastAPI with SQLModel and Alembic migrations against PostgreSQL 16 with pgvector for AI embeddings, while Redis handles caching and session management. The frontend builds on Next.js 16 with React 19 and Tailwind CSS v4. Deployment uses an interactive CLI wizard that configures domain, database, admin account, SSL via Let's Encrypt, and optional features like email via Resend, S3 storage, and Google OAuth, then generates a Docker Compose stack ready to start. On RepoCloud, deploy LearnHouse on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, persistent PostgreSQL storage for your course data, and complete control over AI provider keys and branding customization, all under the AGPL v3 license.

Turn company knowledge into structured courses in minutes: ClassroomIO's AI course builder takes your documents, policies, or topic outlines and generates complete lessons with exercises using Gemini, GPT-4o, or Claude — then an in-lesson AI tutor helps employees study the material at their own pace. The SvelteKit 5 and Hono API architecture backs a platform purpose-built for employee compliance training, customer education, and partner certification programs. Programs group courses into cohorts with team management, progress tracking, and goal setting. Live Kahoot-style quizzes drive real-time engagement during training sessions with automatic scoring and leaderboards. Exercises support multiple question types with automatic grading for multiple choice and AI-assisted evaluation for open-ended responses — teachers review and override all AI decisions. Branded certificates with custom IDs reward course completion. Custom domain mapping through Cloudflare lets organizations serve their learning portal under their own brand. MinIO provides S3-compatible storage for documents and video uploads. The REST API and signed webhooks enable programmatic enrollment and completion tracking, while an MCP server on npm supports AI-native authoring workflows. An embeddable widget drops the course catalog onto any website. Better Auth handles sessions and OAuth with optional SSO.

Try an idea in React, Svelte, Python, or SQL without installing anything: LiveCodes is a browser-based playground where code compiles, runs, and previews the moment you type it. Starter templates open ready-made projects for most of the 90+ supported technologies. The desktop editor brings completion, multi-cursor editing, Emmet, and Vim or Emacs bindings, while a lighter touch-friendly editor takes over on phones and tablets. Packages from npm, deno.land/x, jsr, and GitHub import straight into your code, and a console, compiled-code viewer, and test runner show what happens behind the preview. Bring projects in from GitHub gists, GitLab snippets, JS Bin, or zip files, then share them as links or QR codes, export them as HTML, JSON, or zip archives, or send them to CodePen and JSFiddle. Deploy a project to a public URL on GitHub Pages, sync your work across devices, or broadcast your editor and result live to a classroom. An embed builder and SDKs for JavaScript, React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, and web components place playgrounds inside documentation pages, and prefilled code makes every example editable. Projects stay private by default. Local assets, snippets, themes, and dark or light modes tailor the workspace to each person.
