Abstract

In this paper we describe a course management system for university lectures and lab courses, called LCMS. Started as a simple registration tool for students, signing up for lab courses and examinations, LCMS has been developed into a powerful system, assisting the lecturer and the lab course administrator in the management of entire courses. LCMS tasks are ranging from course registration, student data administration, creation of course webpages, design and administration of exercises and test sheets, up to the design of certificates for successful course participation. For three years in use now, LCMS has become an essential tool for student administration. It is freely available and can easily be adapted to any kind of course management.
