An example of generating Internet-based course material

With universities being at the same time research and educational institutions, one would expect that the WWW, which started as an exchange medium for scientific documents, would quickly find its application in higher education. Although many different concepts for building Web-supported courses have been developed, none has established itself as the dominating standard. We have developed a "lightweight" platform for Internet-supported education and have implemented courses on neural networks and evolutionary algorithms. The platform consists of site-management software and the corresponding content and configuration data. The content encompasses on-line textbooks, with interactive components and simulations.
