Abstract

Synchronous-asynchronous tele-education platform (SATEP) is a software application for educational purposes, with a lot of parametrising (configuration) features written entirely from scratch. It aims at the training and examination of computer skills, a platform that can be adjusted to the needs of each lesson. In the application the trainer and the administrator can define the number of the lectures and upload files for each one of them. Furthermore, he can insert, modify and delete questions which are used for evaluation tests but also for the trainees' examinations. The trainee can read/download the files of each lesson and also test his knowledge on what he has studied through a series of questions/tests. A chat module where registered users as well as system administrator can discuss and solve questions is also developed.
