Applying Multimedia Authoring Tool and XML Techniques to Standardized Knowledge Management for Web-Based Learning

In this paper, we address the development of a standardized multi-media tool that can record desired audio and video as well as the instructor's actions imposed on the knowledge materials simultaneously. Furthermore, for effective management of courseware resources, this work also follows XML (eXtensible Markup Language) specifications, especially the tagging and semantics, to produce a sharable courseware under the scenario of SCORM (Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model) and ULF (Universal Learning Format) standards. Under the frameworks above, we can speed up the production and reorganization of courseware for web-based learning.
