Feel free to add questions, make feature requests or just discuss aspects of the system and eLearning in general!
Although this forum is new, eFront is being heavily developed for the last 6 years. Below we attach a short history of the system.
The initial development of eFront started at late 2001. At that time we got a fund to prototype an eLearning tool with a few advanced characteristics like lesson-student matching and artificial intelligence components. The first version was ready at the middle of 2002 and was used at an EU project (TEXNOMATHEIA). We got some important feedback, a few good words
and some funds to continue development. At the middle of 2003 a few new members joined our core team of developers bringing fresh ideas. More companies showed interest on using our platform and a lot of feedback produced. At the beginning of 2004 the development of our SCORM module began. We also felt the need to integrate advanced collaboration tools to the platform using new technologies. This trend led through time to the integration of several AJAX tools to the system. Version 2 was a reality at the beginning of 2005. We had a very hectic next year due to several unforeseen problems, but this was for the better. From the middle of 2006 we came stronger producing a stable 2.5 version, selling the platform to big companies in Greece and improving our code standards. We also shifted to a multilingual and components based system. This brings us to the current system version, v3, a milestone on the development of the system targeting a wider audience. We used all the inside information, feedback and features request, programming and eLearning expertise we gathered through time to produce this version from the ground up. At the mid of 2007 we decided that it was time to open eFront's source and let other people contribute to the system.
