“EXERCISE” Subsystem

1. You must select “ Temporary Save ” (button located at the bottom of the page)  as soon as you enter an exercise  (before you even answer any of its questions),  as soon as you answer each of its questions  and  at the latest every 20 minutes  (even if you have not yet completed the answer to the current question). This will preserve your answers up to that moment in case of disconnection due to exceeding the time limit of inactivity or problems (such as the interruption of the internet connection, the shutdown of your PC, etc.) and it will be possible to reconnect in order to complete the submission. 2.

Do  not press the “ Back ”  button on your browser to return to a previous page of eClass but use the options on the left and at the top of the page to directly select the desired destination. 3. The ” Cancel ” button (located at the bottom of the page)  cancels your attempt  and you must re-enter the exercise and complete it from the beginning.

“WORKS” Subsystem

To  Submit an Assignment , i.e. upload a document (photographed from a mobile device), the corresponding photo must first be transferred to the PC (desktop or laptop) from which you connected to eClass.

This transfer can be done in various ways, e.g.:

  • Send an email to yourself
  • Send a messenger (facebook) message to yourself.

If the document consists of more than one page then  it is recommended  that the photos of all pages be included in  a single file  (eClass allows uploading up to 10 files).

This can be done, mainly, in two ways:

  • Using a file compression/bundling application (e.g., 7-Zip, WinZip, WinRAR)
  • Using a more specialized scanning application that converts all photos into a single file, usually a PDF (e.g., Adobe Scan, Microsoft Office Lens, CamScanner, TapScanner)
