Where are we today?

• 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
