TheKDE Education Project (or KDE-Edu project) developsfreeeducational software based on theKDE technologies for students and parents. These educational software is translated into more than 65 languages, so that users can access them without any problems. The KDE-Edu project also provides free software educational to support and facilitate teachers in planning lessons.
The KDE-Edu project is available forBSD andLinux;Microsoft Windows support is in beta.[2]
The KDE-Edu project was started in July 2001. The goal of the project is to develop Free Educational Software (GNU General Public License) within the KDE environment. This software is mainly aimed to schools, to students and to parents at home as well as to adults willing to extend their knowledge.[3]
This software is bundled in thekdeedupackage. All applications are fully KDE compatible.
- Cantor - Front-end to powerful mathematics and statistics packages. Integrated four environments, (SageMath,Maxima,R, KAlgebra) into the KDE Platform and provides a nice, worksheet-based, graphical user interface.[10]
- KAlgebra - A mathematical calculator that lets you plot different types of 2D and 3D functions and perform based upon content markup MathML language.[11]
- KBruch - Small program to practice calculations with fractions and percentages.[12]
- Kig - Program for interactively exploring geometric constructions.[13]
- KmPlot - Mathematical functionplotter drawing draw graphs, their integrals or derivatives.[14]
- Blinken - Computerized version of the game,Simon Says which challenges players to remember increasingly long sequences of four colored buttons.[15]
- KGeography - Ageography learning program, with political divisions of some countries (divisions, capitals of those divisions and their associated flags if there are some).[16]
