In this chapter we present the LanGuide Content Management System. It
has been designed and developed as a Web-based application and it is aimed
at linguists who want to create exercises in different languages, fields and
levels for learning purposes. This software application offers a wide variety
of different types of exercises according to the common methodology and
exercise template defined in the LanGuide project. In addition, it is comple-
mented with a common repository of resources to store and share comple-
mentary materials for the exercises, such as videos, texts, audio files and pic-
tures. The tool allows the management of both authors and exercises with
different filters to ease searches. In addition, it includes a preview function
which allows linguists to check the resulting exercise created and simulate
its behavior to check inconsistencies before its final publication. We also
present the assessment of the tool with real users which proves its useful-
ness within the LanGuide project.

Introduction
One of the outputs of the LanGuide project was the preparation of digital
technology and a mobile app to put the language guidance tool into a frame

quisition. At present, a similar tool which can give the users an insight into
their knowledge plus the guidance on how to improve their knowledge and,
in addition, completely free of charge, is not currently available. Thus, one
