This document defines requirements for an electronic classroom (eClass). eClass operates within a presentation room equiped with a network of computers. An instructor uses eClass to prepare, present, and publish his lecture. The instructor has a variety of presentation tools at his disposal, such as a hierarchy of dynamically generated slides, an administrative panel, and an electronic whiteboard. Students use eClass to take notes, interact with the presentation, and ask questions. Students may also log into eClass remotely to view and interact with the presentation from outside the classroom.
