References 5.1 Conclusions The main point of this article is that the standard version of Content MathML can be extended and customized by modifying the XSLT stylesheet that translates the Content MathML into Presentation MathML. Documents with the modified Content MathML will display with no furhter work in the Firefox browser, because this browser supports XSL transformations. For browsers that support Presentation MathML only, the author can process the document with an XSLT processor (such as the one built into Firefox) and then publish the output document, with Presentation MathML. Finally, the author can convert the document to PDF with a standard Print-to-PDF application. Thus, a modified and extended version of Content MathML can be viewed as an authoring platform for Presentation MathML. My hope is that readers of this article can see how they might customize Content MathML to suit their own authoring habits and areas of mathematical interest. 5.2 References Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics W3C XHTML MathML XML XSL CSS SVG InkML Some other XML applications XBRL OOXML Firefox XSL Results plug-in PrintPDF plug-in Other browsers and plug-ins Internet Explorer MathPlayer plug-in Opera Safari Chrome Authoring tools Eclipse IDE Netbeans IDE gedit Text Editor Math on the web Math on the Web Made Easier, Thomas E.

Improving E-Learning Environments for Pen and Multi-Touch Based Interaction a Study Case on Blog Tools and Mobile Devices
eLmL 2014 : The Sixth International Conference on Mobile, Hybrid, and On-line Learning Improving e-Learning Environments for Pen and Multi-touch Based Interaction A study case on blog tools and mobile devices André Constantino da Silva Heloísa Vieira da Rocha Institute of Computing (PG) Institute of Computing, NIED UNICAMP, IFSP UNICAMP Campinas, Brazil, Hortolândia, Brazil Campinas, Brazil [email protected] [email protected] Abstract — e-Learning environments are applications that use power to process Web pages. So, it is possible to access blog the Web infra-structure to support teaching and learning tools, read the messages, post new messages and write activities; they are designed to have good usability using a comments through mobile devices. But, it is important to desktop computer with keyboard, mouse and high resolution consider that these tools (and so their Web pages) are medium-size display. Devices equipped with pen and touch developed to be accessed by desktop computers equipped sensitive screen have enough computational power to render with keyboard, mouse and a medium size display; in your Web pages and allow users to navigate through the e-learning previous work we described that when a user interface environments. But, pen-based or touch sensitive devices have a designed for a set of interaction styles is accessed by a different input style; decreasing the usability of e-learning different set of interaction styles the users face interaction environments due the interaction modality change. To work on problems [5]. Another problem is that it is not possible to mobile contexts, e-learning environments must be improved to consider the interaction through pen and touch.

November 2015 Darmstadt 2015 D17 ÕækQË @ á ÔgQË @ é <Ë @ Õ æ . ”In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” Abstract Although smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices become increasingly popu- lar, pen and paper continue to play an important role in mobile settings, such as note taking or creative discussions. However, information on paper documents remains static and usage practices involving sharing, researching, linking or in any other way digitally processing information on paper are hindered by the gap between the digi- tal and physical worlds. A considerable body of research has leveraged digital pen technology in order to overcome this problem with respect to static settings, however, systematically neglecting the mobile domain. Only recently, several approaches began exploring the mobile domain and develop- ing initial insights into mobile pen-and-paper interaction (mPPI), e.g., to publish digi- tal sketches, [Cowan et al., 2011], link paper and digital artifacts, [Pietrzak et al., 2012] or compose music, [Tsandilas, 2012]. However, applications designed to integrate the most common mobile tools pen, paper and mobile devices, thereby combining the beneﬁts of both worlds in a hybrid mPPI ensemble, are hindered by the lack of sup- porting infrastructures and limited theoretical understanding of interaction design in the domain.

Introduction and Background
Home 1 2 3 4 5 1. Introduction and Background 1. XML 2. MathML 3. XSL 4. Browser Support The purpose of this article is to show how Content MathML can be customized and extended. Together with an associated XSL stylesheet and processor, the customized MathML markup can be converted into standard Presentation MathML for display in a browser or for other purposes. Displayed documents with Presentation MathML can be further converted to PDF. Thus, in a sense, customized Content MathML can be viewed as an authoring platform for Presentation MathML. Quite a bit of background information is necessary to understand this article: XML, MathML (in both its versions), and XSL. We will review these markup languages briefly in this introductory section, but it is well beyond the scope of this article to give exhaustive descriptions. Thus, this article will be most valuable to readers who have a basic knowledge of markup languages. 1.1 XML All of the markup languages that we will discuss are members of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) family. XML is a standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the official standards body for web technologies. XML is perhaps best thought of as a meta-language for the creation of customized markup languages that are designed to encode specialized types of information and data. Particular XMLs of this type are often called XML applications. XML is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the information technology world. A few examples of XML applications are XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language), the rigorous, XML version of HTML, which in turn is the basic language of the web.

Achieving Interoperability of Pen Computing Among Heterogeneous
Achieving Interoperability of Pen Computing with Heterogeneous Devices and Digital Ink Formats (Spine Title: Achieving Interoperability of Pen Computing) (Thesis Format: Monograph) by Xiaojie Wu Graduate Program in Computer Science A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Faculty of Graduate Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario December 2004 Xiaojie Wu 2004 THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES CERTIFICATE OF EXAMINATION Supervisor Examining Board ______________________________ ________________________________ Supervisory Committee ________________________________ ______________________________ ________________________________ The thesis by Xiaojie Wu entitled: Achieving Interoperability of Pen Computing with Heterogeneous Devices and Digital Ink Formats is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Date__________________________ _______________________________ Chair of the Thesis Examination Board ii Abstract Pen-based computing has and continues to become accepted and increasingly used. Hardware and software vendors have typically stored and represented digital ink using proprietary or restrictive ink formats, and have provided software development toolkits to access or manipulate ink for user development on their devices. The variety of digital ink formats and device-dependent software toolkits has limited the ink exchange and application among heterogeneous devices. Our objective is to explore the interoperability of pen computing among heterogeneous devices and digital ink formats. Our investigation has two aspects: digital ink formats and pen computing application programming interfaces (APIs). We consider three ink formats: UNIPEN, Jot and InkML, and two ink APIs: the IBM CrossPad API and the Microsoft Tablet PC API. Our objectives are twofold: (1) to accomplish conversions among UNIPEN, Jot and InkML; (2) and to develop a common abstract API for the CrossPad and the Tablet PC.

A Pen-Based Blog Tool for E-Learning Environments
Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 10, 2013 InkBlog: A Pen-Based Blog Tool for e-Learning Environments André Constantino da Silva Heloísa Vieira da Rocha Instituto Federal de São Paulo, IC – NIED, Hortolândia, São Paulo, Brazil State University of Campinas, CPG-IC, State University of Campinas, Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil São Paulo, Brazil [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Weblogs are communication and collaborative tools disposed in Web that aims to publish texts and sharing opinions, typically displaying the post in reverse chronological order, and allowing visitors to leave comments. Since devices equipped with pen are becoming common, such as tablets, and have enough computational power to render Web pages, users can access blog tools through pen-based devices, writing new posts and read and comment published posts. But tablets have a different input style and the user need to type the post instead of handwriting it, decreasing the usability and make boring the writing task in these devices. Pen-based computing refers to a computer user-interface using a pen, rather than devices such as a keyboard or a mouse, and is a promise research area to enhance Education, but it is need to properly consider the pen. We pur- pose the InkBlog, a blog tool that receive input data from pen so that the user can handwriting her posts. In this work we present the InkBlog architecture and the main component, the InkEditor for Web pages. Using InkBlog the user can write equations or sketches faster than using a mouse or a keyboard, getting the best of the pen-based devices.
