Foil 40 Where are we today?

From XML and Shared Places on the Web XML Developers Conference Montreal -- August 19-20 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Lukasz Beca, Marek Podgorny
Current Web-based Curriculum are rarely based on XML
  • PowerPoint
  • WebCT
  • Blackboard
  • We have an unknown system WebWisdom based on XML
Largest concern of (some) universities is the 80% of the faculty, who have little or no web expertise
  • There is another group of zealots who would be happy to litter their pages with Java applets
Note advantage of XML and DOM is that seems relatively clear how to make collaborative with universal access
Javabeans allow Java applets to be made collaborative but there is no separation between presentation and object layers
