KEWL was developed at the University of Western Cape (UWC) to facilitate research into online learning. It’s a full online courseware system that can be modified. Its primary target is the developing world. It provides an interface for students to interact with educational content and resources. The best part is that KEWL is completely free and is registered as an open source under the GPL agreement.
