Project Scope„Wissenswerkstatt Rechensysteme “ (WWR)(in English „Knowledge Factory for Computing Systems“)

► goal of the project► modular system of multi-media based

teaching and learning modules

► 150 reusable modules reflecting thefundamental standard of knowledgein the field of computer engineering

► flexible combination of modules tocomplete courses

► support for face-to-face teachings and self-study

► basic technology - XML► platform independent

► separates content and presentation

► various processing possibilities

<ML>3 Goals

► Why another XML-based document description format for teachware?or

Demands for the underlying document format.(development started in May 2001)

► adaptability for different learning situations / scenarios,e.g. full-time studies, independent and tutorial learning

► consistency of content prepared for different scenarios,e.g. slides to be used during lectures and the matching printable scripts for offline reading

► flexible handling of which and how content is to be presented

► vocabulary covering all aspects needed to implement teachware in the field of Computer Engineering

<ML>3 Concepts - Scaling

► inheritancechild node gets scaling values from parent node in case of no explicit scaling

► restrictiononly subsets of the parents scaling values are allowed for the child nodes

MMiSS Workshop in Bremen, 22th and 23th April 2004

<ML>3 Concepts – Metamodel

► connecting more than one didactical part to the modules content side

► support for other kinds of didactical structures

<ML>3 Feature Overview

► scalability► intensity, target, device► didactical structure

► content blocks► covering the most important information classes

− example, description, definition, algorithm, theorem, …

► content markup► text enriched with additional information

− emphasis, footnote, abbreviation, citation, index, reference, …► mathematical expressions through embedded MathML

− inline, separate paragraphs► multimedia components

− images, animations, videos, sounds, applets, 3d-scenes, …− annotations to describe them− image sequences as an alternative presentation format (in case of missing

plug-ins)

Tools

►validation of <ML>3 modules►schema conformance►additional semantic constraints

►transformation …►… from other formats to <ML>3

− PPT, Word, FrameMaker, LaTeX− import of legacy content, authoring purposes

►… from <ML>3 to presentation formats− online XHTML − slides XHTML, SVG, PPT− script PDF

Tools

►metadata authoring►SAMAT – Semi Automatic Metadata Authoring Tool

− partially automatic metadata extraction− export to LOM, ARIADNE, DC− contact: maik.bunschkowski@informatik.uni-rostock.de

►connection to learning management systems►<ML>3 Middleware

− defines API for module management, transformation, course composition

− Stud.IP extension in progress− contact: maik.bunschkowski@informatik.uni-rostock.de
