We discuss the use of XML to set "permanent" and pragmatic local standards in a world moving with Internet Time |
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 |
We give other examples of XML to specify database access |
We define the two important API's -- client and backend -- and suggest generic (broader than education) and education specific objects where XML is relevant |
We suggest a model for a new type of "Portal building Tool" |
We described SPW(Shared Portal on the Web) as an XML based collaborative Portal |
