E-Learning Architecture
All successful web-based products require the establishment of a consistent theme and intuitively obvious navigation system. Our product is built upon a “traditional” university theme and layout; one with well-defined “spaces” addressing traditional needs, i.e., Registrar, Library, and Classrooms. We call our product, ELA (E-Learning Architecture).
