The eClassroom Lecture Editor is a platform independent, low impact editor designed to make creating lectures easy.
The editor is divided into three distinct frames: Slide Navigation, Preview, and Configuration. All three frames are opened when the lecture
editor is started. The Slide Navigation frame is located on the left hand side of the main editor window. The frame that dominates most of the
editor is the Preview frame. The preview frame displays the currently selected slide. It is also the main editing frame for each slide.
The Configuration frame is located on the bottom of the editor. It allows the user to change default configurations for each lecture.
When the user starts the editor, it loads a blank lecture with one slide. The editor also has a fully functional text editing tool bar located
underneath the 'File Menus'
