Abstract :
As the Web-based mathematics education (WME) system develops and undergoes in-class trials, we are investigating better technologies for page markup and support services. The mathematics education markup language (MeML) is an XML application specifically designed to structure WME lesson pages and increase element interoperability. A client-side plug-in, Woodpecker, supports the display and operations of MeML pages. The mathematics education service protocol (MESP) defines a uniform interface for accessing, controlling, deploying, and customizing WME services. MeML and MESP are important for WME to become a "Web for mathematics education" based on interoperability of components and expertly constructed pages and services that are customizable.
