1 Current Web-based Curriculum are rarely based on XML
  • PowerPoint
  • WebCT
  • Blackboard
  • We have an unknown system WebWisdom based on XML
2 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

4 Javabeans allow Java applets to be made collaborative but there is no separation between presentation and object layers
