XML in education: My experience / 3

• Results:

  • All students finished their project in July (after 5 weeks) instead of October like before
  • They reported having learned about structuring of a research project and project management
  • Student management was easier (because all information was in some central place)

• Problems:

  • Students did not fully understand the DTD schema
  • XML editors (difficult to learn, error-producing prone, ..)
  • Minimalistic server-side environment
  • Ok in my environment, not good for mass consumption

Notes:
