eduActiv8 is a free Open Source multi-platform educational application that aims to assist in learning various early education topics - from learning the alphabet and new words, colours, time to a wide range of maths-related subjects. eduActiv8 is a continuation of the development of the pySioGame project just under a new name. It is being developed on GitHub at: https://github.com/imiolek-ireneusz/eduActiv8 but 'compiled' releases are published here. The latest version has been partially redesigned to improve usability, but certain activities will still be in the somewhat "prototype quality" - this will be gradually redesigned as time allows. Currently, it is available for Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android (you may need to allow unknown sources to install it on Android). Packages for multiple Linux distributions are available from: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aimiolek-i&package=eduactiv8

The pySioGame project has been renamed to eduActiv8 - please visit the new project page at https://sourceforge.net/projects/eduactiv8/ More info available at http://www.eduactiv8.org Packages for multiple Linux distributions of eduActiv8 are available from: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aimiolek-i&package=eduactiv8

ExpLab is a set of tools that supports the running, documentation and evaluation of computational experiments.

This software allows you perform six degree of freedom simulations of High Power Rocket (HPR) and model rocket flights. Parachute descent is also simulated. 3D flight trajectories are produced as well as detailed tabular flight data. Running in Monte Carlo mode allows generates multiple possible flight paths and splash down plots, indicating the probability of landing in an area.

Gato (Graph Animation Toolbox): Animate graph algorithms for example for computing shortest paths, minimal spanning trees, maximum flows or maximal cardinality or weight matchings. Create your own animations using the Animated Data Structures (ADS).

The MIDI Sight Reader Java Applet works again! To use it you should use Firefox with Java Applet Plug-in installed. Developed using Firefox 25.0.1 and Java 7, Update 51. So what is it? Well it scrolls random notes within a selected key, playing them aloud for audio confirmation, while you, the user, play the notes on your instrument. There is no MIDI interface, the name refers to MIDI because it uses the Java Midi API and organizes everything numerically, according to MIDI numbers. The application plays the notes aloud as they pass under the centerline of the application window. So you adjust the scrolling speed and time between new notes and then play each note before the application echos it back to you. It also scrolls guitar tablature, as can be seen in the video. The keyboard and guitar models are linked so that playing a note on the piano keyboard (clicking a key) causes the guitar neck to display all the locations of the same note on the guitar neck.

A script to generate shapes representing colors, using the ColorAdd code developped by Miguel Neiva: http://coloradd.net The ColorAdd code is a monochromatic Graphical Code allowing colorblind to recognize colors.

The ODS3 Virtual Machine Challenge are downloadable images that can be run as VMWare or VirtualBox instances. The Idea behind the challenge is to test and exercise web application penetration testing in a controlled environment. These images are great for cyber security students, penetration testers and hobbyist. Care should be taken if installed on an Internet access host as the application are purposely vulnerable to attack and exploitation.

PyGeo is a dynamic 3d geometry framework written in Python, rendered with VPython.

ASCII console-based Scrabble game. Simplified version of TuxWordSmith to run in XTerm, DOS or other console. Compatible with braille consoles.

A GUI application permits you to solve more than 25 types of operations including vector product,regression,correlation,equation solve,permutation,combination,factorial,mean,mode,quartiles, median, moments & more. Try it!

AnkiQT Lite (also known as Anki QPE) is a port of ankiqt (the GUI component of Anki) to the QT Palmtop Environment. It allows Anki to be run on a lower spec device, such as a PDA.

Appr is a useful program that helps you learning a new language. You can specify easily a list of word you want to learn, and the program, using the Leitner method, will help you improving your vocabulary.

Assignment Collector/Grader (what a mouthful!) was conceived in 2010 as a way to reduce the workload of an over-worked professor teaching a CS data structures class. It proved not only to reduce the grading workload, but also improved the lab completion rates among students, and grades overall improved as a result. Since it has turned out to be such a successful tool, it is now released under the AGPL license for others to use in their classrooms. Planned improvements include: automatic plagiarism detection, making the student interface prettier, and supporting other testing frameworks and languages.

AutoTeach is a tool that enables parents to supplement The AutoTeach Parent Tool enables parents to supplement their childrens' education without supervision or drama. With AutoTeach you can queue-up activities and tasks that will be dutifully performed at regular intervals. Why will they cooperate like this? Because AutoTeach meters their internet access by using credits which they earn by performing the agenda which you have queued-up for them. The system has potential for many subjects. Everyone, worldwide, is invited to participate. Everything is open-licensed, either Creative Commons or GPL.

ByoDyn (http://cbbl.imim.es/ByoDyn) is a software tool for the study of biochemical networks within the framework of systems biology. SBML compatible, ByoDyn is a group effort of the Computational Biochemistry and Biophysics Lab.

CLUE (C Learning Undergraduate Environment) is a software allowing students to work on assignments in the C language while benefiting from support for peer testing, hyper-linked tutorials to help them understand compiler error messages, detection of "novice errors" with warnings hyper-linked to tutorials. Sponsored by National Science Foundation under award CCLI #0836863.

The Cellular Automata Visualization Program - is a program to visually display the evolution of a 2D cellular automata.

Classic Game Maker is meant to aid in the process of teaching programming and will be based in stages/levels of the development process to allow the gradual progress of students in programming while creating full versions of classic games
