ATutor version 1.4.3 has been released and is now available for download. Current users are encouraged to upgrade their ATutor systems to take advantage of the many new feature that have been added to the release.ATutor is an Open Source Web-based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. Administrators can install or update ATutor in minutes, and develop custom templates to give ATutor a new look. Educators can quickly assemble, package, and redistribute Web-based elearning instructional content, easily retrieve and import prepackaged content, and conduct their elearning courses online. Students learn in an adaptive elearning environment.

ATutor is the first fully inclusive LCMS, complying with the W3C WCAG 1.0 accessibility specifications at the AA+ level, allowing access to all potential elearners, instructors, and administrators, including those with disabilities who may be accessing the system using assistive technologies. Conformance with W3C XHTML 1.0 specifications ensures that ATutor is presented consistently in any standards compliant technology.

ATutor creates standards compliant content packages. ATutor has also adopted the IMS/SCORM Content Packaging specifications, allowing elearning content developers to create reusable content that can be swapped between different elearning systems. Content created in other IMS or SCORM comformant systems can be imported into ATutor, and visa versa. ATutor uses SCORM content packaging specifications.

ATutor's base in Open Source technology makes it a cost effective tool for both small and large organizations presenting their elearning instructional materials on the Web, or delivering fully independent online courses. Comprehensive help is available through the ATutor HowTo documentation, through a number of support services, or through the public forums, and full language support is available through the ATutor Translation Site.
