Initial Design of A Web-Based Mathematics Education Framework

An approach for Web-based Mathematics Education (WME) is considered. It aims to establish a framework to support authoring of dynamic and interactive mathematics education pages, end-user access through regular Web browsers, and supplying mathematical and educational capabilities through interoperable WME servers. The WME architecture we envision builds on emerging Web standards, and includes the XML-based Mathematics Education Markup Language (MeML). An MeML interpreter translates MeML pages into regular Web pages while incorporating contents supplied dynamically by compliant WME servers. WME servers are interoperable by conforming to a common interface specification.
