Abstract
The paper describes the implementation of an e-learning platform to be used by the Department of Electronics of the Technological Educational Institute of Lamia. The e-learning platform is based on Claroline, which is an existing open source implementation of a collaborative learning environment. Claroline has been enhanced and linked with the departmental database and the existing institutional web site. The e-learning platform uses information from the departmental database in order to automatically enroll students into courses, and assign teachers as course tutors. It enables students to have access to information such as degrees from past exams, courses passed and their current status. It also enables teachers to have access to statistical data regarding their students’ performance. The paper describes in detail the functionality, the architecture and the implementation of the e-learning platform.
