Description:
The project is intended to provide a framework and a collection
of components that can ease the preparation of browser-based
tutorials.  The main intended use is to develop tutorials
for school children for explaining concepts.  A tutorial is
seen as a collection of pages.  The framework will generate
a tutorial based on a XML-file which gives information regarding
the individual pages of the tutorial.  Each page is generated
using a (passive) component implementing a standard interface 
(for the purpose of this introduction, let\'s call this - page interface).  
These page components are
parameterizable. Parameter information provided in the XML-file
will be passed to the page components by the framework.

For generating a page the framework will instantiate the appropriate
component and invoke its page interface methods. A new page type can
be registered easily by writing the class which implements the
standard page interface and adding an entry in a configuration XML
file. The implementation language is Java.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.


Other Software Required:
Java Virtual Machine and runtime environment
