| Project Objective |
| The objective of
this project is to provide a method for the faculty of the
University to input their syllabus data in and have it readily
accessible for manipulation and customization. Because XML
allows manipulation of content into various forms of
presentation, my project will allow a single XML document to be
displayed in the form of a web page, an Excel spreadsheet, or a
word document. Because of XML's robust nature,
presentation is not limited to only Microsoft products. XML can
use any word processing application, spreadsheet application, or
Internet browser to display the content of the XML document.
|
| Abstract |
| The major implications of this project will
allow manipulation of data into most presentation platforms that
are commonly used by instructors. It will allow for data
to be input only once, and the look of the data can be changed
without loss of the data. (For example: Lets say you finish your
syllabus and you decide that you don't want the assessment
matrix section of your syllabus to be shown on the document
version of your syllabus, but you do want it for the online
webpage.. With this project, you will be able to exclude
the assessment matrix without having to re-enter the data
later.)
|
| Project Results |
| Although my
project is just the beginning of what could be a centralized
syllabi system, it is intended that at the conclusion of this
system being created that all instructors here at the university
will be able to input the data from their respective syllabi
once, and be able to manipulate that data to display only what
is mission essential and in their choice of presentation
platform.
