Redesigned official Open eClass Mobile app! This application requires an active user account and works only with Open eClass sites that have enabled the mobile API. Please contact your Open eClass administrator if you encounter connection problems. It works best with Open eClass versions 4.4 or later This new mobile-app does not try to be everything that the web-app is but offers an alternative means for accessing courses and stay up-to-date.
