Domaine: Informatic

The project objective is to develop a pilot Web application that illustrates the benefits to be taken from a unified approach to deal with both data and document oriented information. It relies on the use of standard based XML (eXtended Markup Language) and the associated languages/technologies to address the following issues in an integrated way :

• modeling of information (use of XML Schema)
• storing of information (use of a native XML database)
• querying of information (use of Xquery language)
• providing Web browser users’ views (use of XSLT language)
• interaction with users (use of an open source JavaScript library – AXEL - to author both document and data oriented information, constrained by a model)

• The project requires the mastering of several XML associated languages (taugth in the Web Document Engineering course)
• Due to the number of languages to be mastered and the volume of work to be performed to achieve the goal, two students are required for this Bachelor project

WORK DESCRIPTION

The proposed pilot application relates to the implementation of a Web application targeted to students and professors of a high school institution in order to share course resources and organize their respective work about taught courses and associated activities. It aims, for example, at providing the following functionalities :

For the professors

• Provide global information about the course such as course description, details about the examination process, deadlines, etc.
• Upload course resources (slides, links, etc.)
• Upload interactive quizzes for the preparation of an exam
• Provide feedback to students

For the students

• Provide a calendar-based view that facilitates the organization of the student work (editing, for example, a to-do list)
• Provide an easy access to resources of a course
• Provide an authoring functionality to take notes about a course session and aggregates the content of a given course in the purpose of preparing an exam.
