No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
At this seminar we shall introduce several W3C-recommended markup languages, including: MathML, an XML extension that provides the foundation for inclusion of mathematical expressions and formulae in Web pages; X3D (the successor of VRML), an ISO standard for real-time 3D computer graphics for the Web; and SMIL, an XML language for describing multimedia presentations. We shall also present open-source software, such as Blender for creating X3D animations, and MAGpie for creating captions for Quicktime videos, as well as discuss the use of markup languages for creating Web sites accessible to visually and hearing impaired users.
