The eclass has two operational settings. The first of these is the normal usage as a classroom software tool, and the second is as an example in a software engineering course.

This software is intended to be freely available to the public, and therefore has no specific operational requirements. This tool is designed to be used in an academic environment for teaching in a class room. However, this tool could easily be applied to any electronic learning environment in the corporate environment or elsewhere.

This tool has a specific customer who represents the user base of a university computer science department. With this in mind, this product is still intended to be used by the general public for any applicable purpose. This tool is developed to be open ended and with the ability to accommodate all classroom settings.

EClass has been designed to meet of requirements of the software engineering course CPE 308 and CPE 309 at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for professor Gene Fisher. The concepts involved in the design of this project are those learned from this course, and are therefore general software engineering concepts and practice. This project may be useful for any software engineering example as it follows the strict rigors of by the book software engineering.
