As technology has evolved over the past years, so too have classrooms and the needs of students learning in those classrooms. E-Class is an electronic classroom tool that allows instructors to meet the needs of students while helping make classes easier to manage. E-Class addresses the following problems:

• Lack of ability for students and instructors to efficiently interact and collaborate
• Lack of integrated repositories for classroom materials

These are some features to address those issues:

• Ability to attend class from home
• Collaborative “whiteboards”
• Environments for group projects
• Instructors having the ability to control students’ computer usage
• Easily accessible learning materials
