CKAN is a powerful data management system that makes data accessible – by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. CKAN is aimed at data publishers (national and regional governments, companies and organizations) wanting to make their data open and available.
Appunta is a Framework for the Android platform that allows us not only to easily show geopositional information to the user, but also to create new ways of showing this information or modifying the existing ones.
Basically, you have a set of POI (Points Of Interest) located in a map (thus, with a latitude, longitude, and optionally, an altitude), and you need to show these POI and their related information to the user.
Appunta allows you, out of the box, to represent this information in two different ways, a radar or an augmented reality view. But, you can modify these components to show data in other ways or create new ways of visualizing this information.
Appunta is Open Source and anybody can freely use it. So, what are you waiting for?
SNAPP is a software tool that allows users to visualize the network of interactions resulting from discussion forum posts and replies. The network visualisations of forum interactions provide an opportunity for teachers to rapidly identify patterns of user behaviour – at any stage of course progression. SNAPP has been developed to extract all user interactions from various commercial and open source learning management systems (LMS) such as BlackBoard (including the former WebCT), and Moodle. SNAPP is compatible for both Mac and PC users and operates in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
