Hi
I've looked at last years discussion of OSS MIS systems but would welcome some further help.
I've been asked about a "free or low cost Windows SIMS that is computer based rather than web based." Probably for international use. Can anybody help, is anyone using one or could point me to someone else to talk to?
Thanks
Tricia
Hi All,
I inquired about this a while back and thought I should inquire again before I spend some $$$ on one. I am about to buy Math Magic for my Mac.

Celestia is "free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions."
Celestia lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
Community members and visitors who are using TCExam in their schools or authorities might be interested in meeting the TCExam author at CeBIT 2010 from March 2nd-6th in Hannover, Germany.
Good afternoon forum users,
We are last year Business Administration students from a Dutch University and are doing an interesting research about open source systems. We found out some things about the use of OSS in the Netherlands, but still have some questions about the OSS in the United Kingdom.
Do you mind if we ask you some questions the following months concerning OSS on secondary schools in the UK?
Thanks in advance,
Jochem Durenkamp
Hi. I'm in a secondary school and as part of our primary liaison/community element I've been asked to do an hour with some Year 5s from our Feeder primaries -basically giving them a fun session playing games on the IWB or the computer (prob with ContentGenerator/Class Tools or HotPotatoes) But obviously there needs to be an educational focus and I thought it might be good to introduce them to the concept of OSS.
