This is high-level description of what pages are available, how they interact, link to each other, etc, how they
change depending on whether user is logged in or not, and depending on user's permissions for specific object.
Each page description contains three sections.
Heading description only contains things specific to that page. Separate section describes things common to all pages.
Misc notes
We do not strictly differentiate between kinds of users. I.E. Same user can be creator of one course, and student in another. Furthermore, student UI will be available to teacher of the course as well (except his actions as student will not reflect on his global scores nor will they be recorded in the database) for testing.
It is possible to create standalone objects (topics, problems, explantations, tests, etc.), that are not linked to any courses initally, but will be part of global repository instead.

Content area
Depending on browser type entry (subject vs. author),
Content area may contain different views.
Subject View
- List of subcategories
- List of UMOs
Each UMO line contains following fields:
- UMO Title (linked to UMO view)
- UMO "preview"
- Action to be performed (if applicable)
Action might be "edit", "sign up", "link to", etc.
It depends on how user got to the catalogue, and is
set by the page user came from.
Only latest published versions of UMOs are listed by default,
but theme may provide a way to expand specific listing to
all published versions of a UMO.
Author View
First author view page lets user browse list of authors.
Once user descends into author UMOs view, it's the same
as Subject View, except there is no list of subcategories.

flow.Student's statistics within course/topic will
be shown as well.
