Help. Does anybody know a school management open source?

Hi FET-friend-users,

Thanks to Liviu, all of us have solve timetable problems (or almost of us).

But, i think we have another common problem: school management, for example to inform parents about absences of students.. and marks (online)

Please... which software do you use in your school?

Greetings

Paolo

We use a special software from our goverment. it is closed source, german only and it is has implementet the special rules of your systems. so it doesn't make sence to use it if you don't have a school in Germany NRW.

I guess you already check this:

(espeacialy the last links)

Thanks a lot, Volker.
I did not see that list.

And i suppose you meant ("last link") about Fedena..... yes... i found it... really nice grapich and, sure, functions.
Unfortunately, it seems to me there is not a Liviu for Fedena.. about "customization".

As of matter of fact, in our kind of school (professional for students from 14 to 17 years old), it's important the number of hours of attendance: we need exaclty hour of delay or early way out (with exporting in excel or text file). Instead all those software regard schools that count days of attendance.

I think there are many (many) schools like mine... and that feature would be very usefull.

Anyway, could i ask you if you know someone that installed Fedena? And (or) better...someone could help me (and so.. all those will follow us)?

Sure I'll write in Fedena's forum: if installation was easy... I could help for italian version.

Best regards.

Paolo

PS. I found this http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Fedena/Installation

i meant the plural, because maybe also schooltool or openadmin fit your needs.

Please let me know which programs to add to the FET page Tools/Links section, but only free (libre) software. All these three of the above?

Silver · January 20, 2012, 11:10:36 AM

yes, all under GPL and free.

Liviu Lalescu · January 20, 2012, 11:32:17 AM

I prefer to add the homepage for Moodle, so I added:

Moodle - Course Management System (CMS) - GNU GPL.
http://moodle.org/

openSIS Community Edition - GNU GPL.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensis-ce/

Free Student Management System - GNU GPL and other license.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freesms/

Please check Tools/Links ( http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/toolslinks.html ) and confirm it is OK.

Silver · January 20, 2012, 08:10:58 PM

thanks, please let the moodle links like:

Moodle - Course Management System (CMS) - GNU GPL , student management system was added to moodle in version 2.2 and above.

http://moodle.org/

Liviu Lalescu · January 20, 2012, 08:16:01 PM

Silver · January 21, 2012, 02:23:59 AM

There are plenty of open source school management software; the only thing is you have to Google precisely using specific search phrases. In addition to that, there are many forums offering a platform for young software developers to test and distribute their own software to understand the flaws and areas of development in it. You can try getting open source school management software from these forums.

I personally use the School and Tuition Management Software. It is cost-effective, easy to use, seamless to customize, flexible to suit my needs and has a great customer service. You can check out the features by visiting http://goo.gl/EjytnD

Thank you for your information, but it seems to me to be a kind of advertising. This topic is about open source software (well, Volker talks about closed source software in the second post, but does not give its name and does not talk about its qualities). I googled for this software and I found its homepage. Its author is Summit Tech (the same as your username). Also, your very appreciative wording about the software is resembling advertising.

On the other hand, this topic is for debate, it is not a selected collection of open source software. Also, you did not explicitely write the software homepage. So, I am not sure what to do. Maybe the other moderators (Volker and Bobby) know better.

Anyway, thank you for your interest!
