Course editor : web authoring tool for an e-learning system

Abstract

MathML is a new effective public standard language for encoding mathematical expressions on the web. In order to foster the adoption of MathML in World Wide Web, MathML software needs to be freely available for users. MathML software products which exist today are very limited and most of the time shipped as an expensive commercial product which hinds the use of MathML by wide computer user community./ The Goal of this current research is to implement an open source, easy to use web authoring tool which helps teachers in creating scientific course materials with mathematical content. The Proposed tool can directly create the web content from MS Word documents. This avoids rather than spending time, energy and money in using complicated web authoring tools. This generated web content with MathML is published in a browser in a neutral way allowing a large audience to be reached./ The generated content is also conforms to the SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference Model) specification, allowing them to be easily deployed in SCORM compliant Learning Management Systems
