===== E-Course =====
The **e-Course** is the central core of the Open eClass platform. Each course is an autonomous entity within the platform, integrating a series of tools. Essentially, the e-course is a modular structure, organized and managed by the teacher, depending on the available material and the e-learning model they choose to adopt (ranging from a simple informative website to a fully dynamic educational environment).

The e-course includes a series of tools managed by the course teacher. Among these are various tools (Announcements, Documents, Exercises, Assignments) and various tools such as course statistics, users, and user access to the course. Also, on the course's home page, a series of buttons provide the course teacher with several capabilities, such as:

  * Number of registered users in the course
  * Course statistics
  * Course bibliographic reference
  * Enable - Disable course notifications via e-mail
  * Display course access type (Open, Open with registration, Closed)
  * Course settings
