Oryoki (pro­nounced oh-​​roe-​​key) was the func­tional por­tion of Jeff’s Mas­ter The­sis project on the design of Open Course­ware man­age­ment sys­tems. The goal of the project was to develop a sys­tem for pub­lish­ing edu­ca­tional mate­r­ial in small chunks called mod­ules and then give instruc­tors and stu­dents the abil­ity to build their own learn­ing “paths.” with those mod­ules. Oryoki would man­age the stu­dents, course mate­r­ial and report­ing func­tion­al­ity and give devel­op­ers the free­dom to wrap the sys­tem in cus­tom tem­plates.

Oryoki remains a proof-​​of-​​concept and a work in progress but may one day be res­ur­rected, fin­ished and released in to the wild.
