  • Using Docbook and XML Technologies to Create Adaptive Learning Content in Technical Domains1
    Using DocBook and XML Technologies to Create Adaptive Learning Content in Technical Domains1 Iván Martínez-Ortiz 1, Pablo Moreno-Ger 2, José Luis Sierra- Rodríguez 2 and Baltasar Fernández-Manjón 2 1 Centro de Estudios Superiores Felipe II. Aranjuez, Spain 2 Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Madrid. Spain e-mail: [email protected], {pablom, jlsierra, balta}@fdi.ucm.es Abstract This work presents an XML-based authoring methodology that facilitates the different tasks associated with the development of standards-compliant e-learning content development. The idea is to support a unified authoring process of adaptive e-learning content by adopting the manual writing metaphor. According to this metaphor, which is specially well-suited for technical domains, instructors are compelled to view e-learning material as the manuals normally written and used to teach a particular subject. The methodology is supported by the DocBook document model (an XML application) which has a number of tools associated that facilitate the implementation of the methodology. Other tasks such as the packaging of contents or publishing in the Learning Management System (LMS) can be automated from these manuals. Keywords: XML, Adaptive learning, e-Learning, interoperability, profiling, adaptation. 1. INTRODUCTION Historically, the production and maintenance of educational contents has required great investment and the employment of multidisciplinary groups of experts. But technological evolutions (i.e. from CD-ROM to Internet technologies) or migrations to different e-learning platforms can make that content obsolete without any possibilities of reuse. In addition, these contents are usually designed as indivisible blocks and this affects reusability between different authors, projects or target audiences.

Software documentation plays a key role in software development if it is up-to-date and complete. Softwa re documentation should have the synchronization with the software development. One of the problems is duplication; same information is written in different documents and stored in different places with different formats making things complex to manage. By using traditional documentation tools, it’s hard to maintain documentation for complex systems and it is time consuming. To overcome these problems, we have used XML Docbook that is a good solution for it. Docbook provides single sourcing technique in whi ch documents are written ideally in one place and can convert it into different other formats from the same location. Actually docbook is based on xml which can be easily edited by most of the programming languages.

  • XML Based Content Website Management
    XML Based Content Website Management Dustin Swallow April 10, 2003 1 1. Introduction The ever expanding number of pages on the World Wide Web continues to grow at a phenomenal rate each year. This exponential rate can be attributed to growth in every continent around the globe. Consequently, businesses are continually expanding their mission objectives to provide content and services to customers which are both effective and cost efficient. In this pursuit, some companies are looking to utilize the many benefits of XML in publishing content on the Internet and other sources. XML file repositories can provide a platform independent modular system which when utilized by other publishing technologies can provide the desired benefits of XML. Centralized independent data sources can be processed and displayed in appropriate outputs in many different formats. Companies can manipulate stored data to be used in a distributed environment, within applications, or simple HTML output for the Web. Utilizing different technologies also enable companies to display the same centrally stored information in domain specific formats such as HTML, PDF, or WML. To begin this discussion, an overview of XML will be given. The discussion will include a brief history of XML, the Pros and Cons of using XML, XML functions, XML processes, and the general features of XML which make it so appealing. The next section will discuss the justification of using XML for content generation, including some driving forces. The next section will highlight three different strategies for generating content from XML using Docbook, AxKit, and Python. Then, I will discuss in detail the implementation of a HTML website using Docbook source documents.
