KUPFER E-Learning Project:

Integration & Cooperation with MILESS

• Collection of typical exercises for written exam preparation

• Interactive solving with feedback & help from system • Online-version in MILESS, Offline-version on CD-ROM • Exercise / test described by XML-file:

Task description, steps to solution, help & hints, time available, scores, ... • Additional files: graphics, html, audio, video

• Exercise is stored as document in MILESS

• Cross references to other documents (scripts, videos, animations, ...) • Work that MILESS does:

Search for exercises

Navigation through departments / classifications / thematical tree Streaming of audio- / video, archiving, access control, ...

• Work that KUPFER does:

Online editors for different types of exercises

Presentation modules for different types of exercises Select exercises from pool to simulate a written exam
