Linking ActivityML to Mathematical Web Services

one small step: the environment for services

Taking a lesson plan and realize it as a portable XML-based document can now be done with the activityEditor. With an activityML lesson, the AOLA environment now brings the lesson live in the ePlatform. The next missing step is the discoverable mathematical services to render on-demand graphical mathematics (some form of dynamic mathematics) and to provide the computational engine for dynamic mathematics in real-time.

In this posting, we learn how to use axis2 to create an online environment to create a proof-of-concept Saas (software as a service) for AOLA mathematics learning.

The next few postings will be the deployment of a simple computational engine that provides Saas to an activityML lesson.
