Hello,
I hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, a lot of teachers/professors are finding ways to reach out to their students using online learning methodologies. Our team at FOSSEE https://fossee.in/ (*Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education*), IIT Bombay has created Yaksh https://github.com/FOSSEE/online_test, a Free & Open Source, Learning Management System with automated grading evaluation for administering exams and programming challenges.
Yaksh allows teachers to create and administer multimedia-rich courses, manage students, assignments, exams and grading all in one place. It is web-based and hosted online which means that users can access courses from anywhere.
It has been successfully used by a number of Professors at IIT, Bombay to administer their own courses to a couple of hundred students every year. It is also used internally by our team to conduct remote training programs, workshops and exams as well as to set up standalone programming challenges for hackathons and recruitment processes
Yaksh has been built with Python and Django on the backend and HTML, CSS (Bootstrap) and JQuery on the frontend. The platform is completely free and the code is Open Sourced on Github https://github.com/FOSSEE/online_test.
You can try out the project at https://yaksh-demo.fossee.in/exam/login/.
In case of any queries (deployment, support, technical) please contact us at pythonsupport@fossee.in
For more information on FOSSEE and it's various initiatives, please visit https://fossee.in
We have built an assessment tool for adding on to LMS. This was based on request from NCERT . This is also built in python django and is foss. I feel there can be synergy.
Pl contact me or Animesh. I am at gise lab cse department and Animesh works for TDSC ctara
Cheers

Yes. demo user doesn't work for student/teacher account.
Signed up as a new user and after login, it doesn't show up any courses.

We have 50 teacher and student logins.
The teacher login credentials are: Username:- teacher<1-50> Password:- teacher<1-50>
Similar is the case with student account.
Please let me know if you still face any issues.
You can also sign up as a new user. You can send the registered email and we will convert your account to moderator.

Hello All,
Yes, the instructions seem to be a little ambiguous. The credentials are
Username:- teacher1 Password:- teacher1
Username:- teacher2 Password:- teacher2
and so on for 50 odd users.
The system also does not allow simultaneous logins for the same set of credentials. So, in case you are suddenly thrown out of the interface, just use another set of credentials to login again.
Regards

I am looking for a small distro ( like Luit Linux / DSL / Bonsai Linux) to run on old IBM Thinkpad 390 (Pentium II @ 300MHz and 256 MB RAM). Nothing fancy, just a basic OS. Thanks for your help regardsharsha godavari
Hey Harsha,
May be you can try http://puppylinux.com/ or https://www.slax.org/

Hi Bhaskar: Thanks for the tip. I did get the distro and tried it out. I get the basic desktop but got bogged down in getting & installing the programs I want to run (such as a browser) :-( I will go through the manual and see how I manage.regardsharsha godavari ----- Original Message ----- From: Baskar Selvaraj baskar@linuxpert.in To: GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in Sent: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 21:32:30 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Minimal distro

Hello Psachin: Thanks for your suggestions. I have downloaded Bionicpup & slacko and currently downloading Slax . However, there might be problems with these two, according to their web sites:A PII will struggle with a modern Puppy. Some later PIII and Athlon machines should copepuppylinux.com/arch.htmlMemory: 128 MB of RAM for desktop/ 512 MB of RAM to run Web browserhttps://www.slax.org/introduction.phpI do want to run a web browser and the RAM on the Thinkpad is maxed (256 MB). Adding another 256MB is impossible and will cost (probably) more than new notebook :-) I wish the guy who built the Luit Linux, continue to maintain it. regardsharsha godavari----- Original Message ----- From: psachin iclcoolster@gmail.com To: GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in Sent: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 21:24:17 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Minimal distro

Hello Psachin: tried two versions of the Puppy :Ubuntu Bionic (can't find the NIC) and Slackware which loads but can't run any program, Firefox won't start even in 'safe mode'. Slax hangs partways through loading. Guess I got to keep looking.

I would love to dump Firefox and use some light browser. But these days, there does not seem to be, much of a choice. Any recommendations?
