DIGITAL CLASSROOM ECLASS
Brief Summary
The Digital Classroom (eClass) is a comprehensive learning environment which supports the educational process while it enriches communication between teachers and students. It is the main axis of asynchronous distance learning for the academic community of the University of Athens.
In addition, it can be combined with other digital teaching methods, such as teleconferencing, Live Broadcasts, and Video Lectures, creating a set of tools that actively supports the educational process in a hybrid way.
The Digital Classroom is based on the Greek open distance learning platform Open eClass.
