WME: towards a web for mathematics education

Published: 03 August 2003 Publication History

Abstract

Reported is an approach for Web-based Mathematics Education (WME). The WME framework is a distributed system that aims to create a Web for mathematics education. Components of the WME framework include the Mathematics Education Markup Language (MeML) for page markup, regular Web servers to deliver pages, WME Page Processors to enable common Web browsers to receive MeML pages, and a variety of WME services (mathematical and educational) to supply power and interactivity to MeML pages. The MeML language supports the creation of efficient, effective, and dynamic mathematics education content. The WME architecture is designed so that mathematics education contents (static and/or dynamic) and remote WME services can be built independently, maintained independently, deployed easily, and still interoperate and reinforce one another on a global scale.
