Design and Implementation of Educational Content Authoring Tool for Smart Devices

Abstract

Teachers, who are the subject of on-site training, cannot create education content easily reflecting their experience for themselves, and also cannot distribute the content to leaners. Even though the content is distributed, there are limited in available devices as well as representable content features. So, an applicable authoring tool is needed at the user level. In this paper, we propose an authoring tool by which users and teachers can make education content easier based on WYSIWYG interface, and can distribute that. The proposed authoring tool supports various media education content of XML format so that viewers on various smart devices can see the content regardless of operating systems. And not only we conduct survey of users to evaluate convenience and expression of proposed authoring tool, but also we check whether the content can be equally visualized on various smart devices.

Design and Implementation of a Dynamic Educational Content Viewer with Big Data Analytics Functionality

“…It uses the EPUB 3.0 format, which is based on Web standard technologies including HTML5, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), SVG, and the Document Object Model (DOM). It was launched on the Chrome Web Store in September 2012, and currently has more than 40,000 users [21]. The Readium project attempts to ensure that its open source code is readily available for EPUB 3 publications, and aims to accelerate the adoption of EPUB 3 as a universal and global digital standard publishing format [6,21].…”
