RLS AVON project is a computer-based learning system. Students receive a lecture (screen shot) and then follow up with a test made up of multiple choice questions.

You could call RLS AVON computer aided instruction, but the program has the capacity to deliver instruction on its own. You could also call it an e-learning platform.
RLS AVON gives you freedom by supporting both Microsoft Windows and Linux. It could also be made to work under Mac OS X.

RLS AVON is free software, also called open source software, as defined by the GNU General Public License version 2 or, at your choice, later.

Lessons

RLS AVON comes with a lesson editor for educators (screen shot). Lessons may include text formatting and images. The lesson file format is based on XML and is designed to be vendor and platform neutral.

RLS AVON does not come with any lessons at this time, but it does support NOVA lessons (see below).
