What is ATutor

ATutor is an adaptive Web content development and delivery system. It allows Web developers, and particularly Web educators, to easily develop online educational content to be presented in a structured adaptable learning environment. It allows online learners to arrange content in many different ways, adapting it to their preferred style or method of navigating through web-based instructional material.

Open Source

ATutor is an Open Source project, meaning the source code for the program is freely available under the GNU Public License. The most current ATutor source code can be downloaded from the SourceForge Web site. This is the development "snap shot", updated on a fairly regular basis. Note that there may be features within the current snap shot that are not fully functional. Please use your discretion when bug reporting. Please read the readme file in the source code for system requirements and install instructions.


Purpose/Objective:

ATutor's purpose is to provide an accessible learning environment that is adaptable to a diverse range of learners. Many learners with disabilities have difficulty with online learning because of access issues resulting from their disability, or because the environment does not suite there preferred style of learning. ATutor has been created to provide these and other learners with a learning environment that adapts to the characteristics of the learner.
