E-Class
The Electronic Classroom (https://eclass.uoa.gr/) is an integrated electronic course management system that supports the asynchronous distance learning service at the University of Athens. The service is accessed using a simple web browser and does not require specialized technical knowledge. The integration of supportive e-learning methods in the learning process at the University of Athens supports and enhances teaching and access to knowledge, providing combinations of new methods to complement traditional teaching. In this way, learners choose their own time frame for communication and access to educational content. Furthermore, it supports the digital organization and distribution of the courses’ educational material, as well as a multitude of means of communication between the teacher and the students, ensuring the smooth and uninterrupted conduct of the course.
