Amadeus Learning Management System
==================================

The Amadeus LMS project aims at the development of a second generation learning
management system, based on the blended learning concept. It can be accessed 
through several platforms (Internet, desktop applications, mobile phones, PDAs 
and soon interactive TV). The wide spread of the interaction forms with the content
and users allows the implementation of differente teaching strategies, constructivity
or social-interactive ones.
We wish to contribute with our society, and the overall development of our country 
as well. Cause we believe that both tools and developed methods offered to the 
educational systems are significant contributions to obtain improvements in education,
which is an essential field to increase the quality of life in our territory.   

It is being released as a GPL project to gather community involvement in its
development. More information can be found at the following URL:

We have also provided a portal with everything about AmadeusLMS Project, both for users and
potential developers at http://www.softwarepublico.gov.br .

Quick Instalation guide
=======================

The AmadeusLMS installation process is very simple, which can generate a bit of work
is the installation of it peripherals softwares, which are: PostgreSQL, Tomcat and the JVM. For more
details of how to install the software, find out the folder /docs. There 
you will find a step by step how to install all these peripherals.

We will then install the proper AmadeusLMS. The latest version of Amadeus, 00.96.30.

First of all, you need to download the version, in case, will need the file called AmadeusLMS-v00.96.30.zip
which can be found at the following URL:

http://www.softwarepublico.gov.br/dotlrn/clubs/amadeus/file-storage/index?folder_id=27751377

In it, there is only the mobile and web-app, the games are not yet stable for production,
if you're intrested to see amadeus games just creckout the project, then you can test it.

Begining the installation process:

	1. Extract the file AmadeusLMS-v00.96.30.zip;

	2. Create a database for any application (recommended: amadeus_web) and
	   run inside the script / scripts/amadeuslms_web-v00.96.30.sql.

	3. Re-create another database for your mobile application with database name:
	   amadeus_mobile and run inside the script / scripts/amadeuslms_mobile-v00.96.30.sql.

	4. Check for a file that is in / WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml,
	   this file is inside the / app / amadeuslms.war, which must be configured
	   Like his bank was created. The following is an example:

        <property name = "hibernate.connection.
	url "> jdbc: postgresql: / / localhost: 5432/amadeus_web </ property> this line should be placed the name of the database
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username"> postgres </ property> this line should be placed the name of Database User
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password"> postgres </ property> this line should be placed oa password for that User

	Note: the first line should be attentive to the name of the database built in postgres
	by you in step 2. In the second line, it is the User that the application will use to handle
	the data in the database, ie, there must be a User (owner) with full permission
	access o basic set up.

	5. Place the file in the folder amadeuslms.war $ CATALINA_HOME / webapps ($ CATALINA_HOME
	   is the root directory of your Tomcat) of your application server.

	6. Access the page to test if everything worked: http://localhost:8080/amadeuslms
