Platform-independent KML Editor for Creating E-Learning Modules based on XML

Authors

Abstract

The chair of Operating Systems of Chemnitz University of Technology participated in a joint project "Knowledge Workshop Computing Systems". As a result, twelve universities across Germany created a total of 145 e-learning modules for the subject of Technical Computer Science. Experiences from this project "in terms of creation of modules based on XML as well as from use in presence teaching at schools" initiated a second project creating a WYSIWIG editor which also allowed teachers creating learning modules who are not skilled in using XML directly. Experiences from the first project were published in [3]. This paper presents the WYSIWIG editor KML which has been implemented in Java. The editor uses a special markup language named 3.The paper presents experiences from using this editor for creating e-learning content in schools, colleges and professional schools in the Federal State of Saxony in Germany.
