cases the features will be simplified while others will be improved
to better suit an electronic classroom. In general missing features include:
- Dynamic slidification of a presentation
- Chatting between users
- Student contribution to presentation through whiteboard style drawing
The above features are addressed in some of the reviewed applications and will
be taken into consideration for the eClass behavior.
