Wims embedded on a CDROM

Two CDROMS published now allow you to test a local WIMS server after a boot-up in just 3 minutes:

  • The CDROM Freeduc-CD, developed by the association OFSET (Organization for Free Software in Education and Training), which you can get after the talk. This one contains in addition 40 educative applications useful for all education levels.

  • The CDROM Knowims, developed by Gang XIAO. This one features in addition a selection of applications useful for teaching maths.

When a CDROM boots up with a WIMS service, it is reachable with the web browser (Mozilla), at the URL http://localhost/wims/ . The server is also available for other machines connected to the same local area network. Here is an example of a training session where this technique was explained (in french).
