There is an interesting article on Slashdot regarding a collection of open source tools (OS4ED) and applications that could be used to free institutions from having to use costly pay-for solutions. They describe it as a solution for K-12 schools, but I don’t see any reason why this couldn’t be implemented at a university level. It describes a package of applications that could replace Banner. Currently the system focuses on a student information system, and a data warehouse solution, but plans to increase its offerings.
