Abstract:
In this paper, we give a broad overview of a Web- based system, MLAS, that enables teachers, who do not necessarily know how to program, to dynamically author and deploy mathematical lessons on the Web. Our primary focus, however, is on a feature inside MLAS; an on-Web Application Programming Interface (API). It is possible through this API to embed educational objects by any developer with XHTML/ JavaScript expertise. With an intuitive and easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI), programmers can deploy their own code and add new materials to be used by anybody using MLAS. The API utilizes the simple, yet powerful, site architecture which guarantees structured content placement and retrieval between the application and the back-end MySQL database.
