eClss

eClss is a web-based platform designed to manage curriculum, course scheduling, enrollment, and assessment workflows for educational institutions. It provides tools for creating and publishing course catalogs, planning timetables, tracking student enrollment, recording attendance, and collecting grades, all within a single system. The goal of eClss is to streamline administration while supporting teaching and learning through accessible dashboards and reporting.

The project originated as an open-source initiative developed by educators and developers who sought to consolidate disparate administrative tools. It has since evolved into a modular platform that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. eClss emphasizes interoperability, offering APIs and data import/export options to integrate with student information systems and learning management systems.

Key features include course management, enrollment and waitlist handling, timetable planning with conflict detection, attendance tracking, gradebook and assessments, and customizable reporting. The platform supports role-based access control, mobile responsiveness, and integrations via RESTful APIs, webhooks, and single sign-on.

Technical architecture is based on a modular, service-oriented design with a PostgreSQL-compatible database and a modern backend framework. It highlights data privacy and security, with audit trails and configurable retention policies. Adoption has been reported in small to mid-sized institutions, with community-driven documentation and regular updates.
