Webinar by Renata Sevcikova & Alberto Sanz, UZH, 5.10.2009

eLesson Markup Language (eLML) is an XML framework allowing authors of e-learning lessons to create structured and sustainable content. The aim of the webinar is to introduce eLML and to show some examples of e-learning content that was created using eLML.

There are two main reasons for using eLML: consistency and flexible output possibilities.

Consistency:

This tool ensures conformity to pedagogical guidelines and thus consistency throughout all the lessons of a course. Even different authors will create identically structured lessons.

Flexible output possibilities:

Content and layout are strictly separated. The resulting eLML format can be transformed using standard technologies (XSLT) into different formats such as (X)HTML (for the Web), Scorm or IMS CP (for Learning Management Systems), PDF (for prints) etc.
