Abstract of Uses of XML in Distance and Distributed Learning

From Uses of XML in Distance and Distributed Learning FSU Workshop on Symbolic Notations on the Web -- 8 October 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 We discuss the use of XML to set "permanent" and pragmatic local standards in a world moving with Internet Time
2 We use an example of a set of simple quizzes to both illustrate XML and its use to save content produced originally from a Java applet
3 We give other examples of XML to specify database access
4 We define the two important API's -- client and backend -- and suggest generic (broader than education) and education specific objects where XML is relevant
5 We suggest a model for a new type of "Portal building Tool"
6 We described SPW(Shared Portal on the Web) as an XML based collaborative Portal
