The Usage of MS Word and Javascript in E-Learning Courseware Development

Abstract

This paper introduces a new approach that enables a simplified and automated development of interesting and attractive e-learning courseware by using a Java template. This new approach enables the development of better-quality e-learning courseware in less time and at less cost, and without pre-requisite knowledge of complicated software such as Macromedia, FrontPage, and etc. In the development process, Microsoft Word, HTML coding, and JavaScript are used. In this e-learning courseware development, Microsoft Word software is used for content editing and saved as a .html file. The saved .html file will be encoded using JavaScript for the files to be viewed on web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Chrome. Developing, editing and updating are made
