OpenSWAD
SWAD (Social Workspace At a Distance) is a free educational platform that can be used to support face-to-face or blended teaching and includes social networking features. SWAD offers teachers a space to host the materials of their face-to-face or blended-learning courses and to manage and communicate with their students. If you are a teacher you can create workspaces for your courses. If you are a student, it is possible that your teachers have already created the courses on the platform and in that case, either you have already enrolled in them or you have to apply.

EduWave
EduWave® LMS provides the ability to link courses, assessment questions, images, multimedia, and more to specific learning standards. This, along with the SmartTeacher™ feature, individualized learning plans, adaptive assessments, BookZero™ tools, and more, empowers educators to offer individualized instruction while still aligning with the specific standards of their educational body. Course evaluation, primarily in the form of surveys, allows students to reflect on their academic year, the courses they have taken and the instructors who taught them. This also helps universities, schools, and other academic institutions keep track of how students are responding to various instructors and courses. Instructors can create assessments and classify them into different sections, categories and years. Students can access those assessments and complete them using the Assessment Management System (AMS) feature.
