Abstract
The ECU Student Desktop is a dynamic Web-based environment that gives students access to grades, course history, course availability, housing information, and weather reports and lets them register for classes, update personal information, and contact students from their hometown or region. The user interface is simple and fun-it changes according to the season and even serenades students on their birthdays. Learn why the ECU Student Desktop aims to become the best Web-based student information system in the UNC system and be the benchmark by which all Web-based student information systems are measured.
