Goals & visions

Goals & visions

The platform has reached a stage of functional and design maturity. The enhancement and support of educational activities, for both instructors and students, through a high-quality learning environment remains our main goal. In particular we continue to develop and offer advanced education and training facilities, eliminating the spatial and time constraints of conventional teaching, by exploiting the latest improvements of ICT and web technologies.

Furthermore, we focus on flexibility, usability, scalability, free distribution not requiring licenses and maintenance, small functional requirements, independence from the underlying OS, the use of open standards, the possibility of integration with other network services, clear functional structures (registration, access, course development, management, etc.), interoperability and security as well as ongoing support.
