PUPIL

PUPIL is a teaching tool intended for distance teaching of experimental psychology to students that are not on campus. The system is completely browser based and does not require any locally installed software, neither for the person designing the experiments nor for the students running the experiments.

Most of the documentation is available in the wiki.
