Your University ERP System Project at SourceForge.net had drew interest in me (...though I'm not a technical person & don't know much about the technical stuff you guys talked about there). I would like to open a new thread (I've already done so anyway...

As a person who was on the ground of this field for three years, I think it would be interesting to tell people that online learning platform is most of the time much easier than what we thought. Though, the ease of it sometimes makes us felt that it is so difficult. As we go further from here, I will tell you guys more or perhaps you guys will realise it yourself.

And thrust me, the 'm' is coming very very soon.... But for the moment, let's keep our discussion to the 'i' though sometimes we might touch on the 'm'.
Till the next round, do keep an eye on the 'i'
