EGRID is powered by ecLEMS, a elearning management system written in Java. EGRID is made up of a grid of computer systems on the world wide web that are linked by ecLEMS. Learning objects and contents are distributed in the grid computers provided by schools, instituitions and individuals and are stored as searchable knowledge. Users can choose to share their resources or simply use resources provided by contributers to EGRID. Schools and instituitions can also source for innovative contents from third party commercial content providers. EGRID maintains a 100% uptime through its grid structure and strives to provide a quick and efficient network response through its unique distributed grid management system.
