The project

Open eClass

The Open eClass platform is an integrated course management system, offered and actively supported by GUnet over a decade. Its main goal lies in the integration and constructive use of the Internet and web technologies in the teaching and learning process. The Open eClass platform is distributed for free as an open – source software, it runs on the latest versions of all popular browsers and it contains a modern and responsive user interface that adapts to different hardware devices, from conventional desktops and laptops to tablets and smartphones.

The distribution of the first version (1.0) of the platform was launched in 2003. Ever since many new versions of the platform have been designed and developed as an offer to the educational and academic society to enhance the teaching and learning process. The latest 3rd generation of the Open eClass platform was launched in April 2015 and it supports the open digital courses, in combination with the Open Delos platform and the National Repository.
