From Uses of XML in Distance and Distributed Learning FSU Workshop on Symbolic Notations on the Web -- 8 October 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Educational Components and Services are abstracted as a set of hierarchical Toolbars-- perhaps as in Word or similar commodity software
Toolbars (made of individual commands/object accesses) are defined in XML and rendered in HTML for user interface.
Toolbars can access a direct client-side or middle-tier service or educational objects
Education Toolbars include user profile specification (layout, universal access), University Services (sports, tickets) , Choice of different curricula, Access to particular on-line resources (programming labs, chats, bulletin boards etc.), Homework submittal and administrative services, integration with "personal portal" to store notes
