Technological features

This distance learning environment is based on Java technology, so it is portable and can be operated in the common operating system.
The Learning environment requirement from the server side is based on "Free" and "Open Source" software. This easy managed requirement is valid for the operation system, the database management and web server systems as well.
The requirement from the client side is so low and easy, because only a Web browser is needed for using the whole system.
