Abstract
The exploitation of contemporary Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the design process of advanced e-learning methods and systems is only one indispensable factor that needs to be addressed, considering that the principle need of students nowadays is the easy and straightforward access to educational material. In addition, the rapid technological evolution and the unceasing invasion of new technologies in the market, renders older technologies obsolete after only a short lifetime. Taking this into account, it becomes apparent that the cognitive material is affected in numerous ways and that the need to dynamically upgrade it is absolutely necessary in order for it to be constantly up to date and to follow closely the technological developments. Bearing in mind the two aforementioned factors, this paper presents an advanced educative web learning platform, which conforms to the above mentioned needs of contemporary education and students and learners in general.
