KEWL.NextGen is a free/open source e-learning platform (also known as a Course Management System (CMS), or Learning Management Systems (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)). KEWL was developed initially by Derek Keats at the University of the Western Cape as an ASP application in the 1990s, but was rewritten from scratch in PHP in 2004 as part of the African Virtual Open Initiatives and Resources project so that it would run on Linux and other platforms.

  • KEWL.NextGen is a free/open source e-learning platform (also known as a Course Management System (CMS), or Learning Management Systems (LMS), or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)). KEWL was developed initially by Derek Keats at the University of the Western Cape as an ASP application in the 1990s, but was rewritten from scratch in PHP in 2004 as part of the African Virtual Open Initiatives and Resources project so that it would run on Linux and other platforms. KEWL.NextGen and its successors (KEWL 3.0 up) are designed to help educators create online courses with a variety of opportunities for rich interaction based upon a choice of pedagogies. Its Free Software (open source) license and object-oriented modular architecture means that developing additional functionality is fairly easy for programmers with any level of skill. The main development of KEWL.NextGen and above is a result of collaboration among 15 African universities, but development and localization also happens elsewhere. There are currently two main versions of KEWL, KEWL.NextGen which is a PHP4 application based on the KINKY rapid application development framework, and KEWL 3.0 which is currently in Beta testing and is based on the Chisimba rapid application development framework.
