Nuevas características del lenguaje OPScript para la creación de aplicaciones educativas

Abstract

In this paper the authors make a brief introduction to the YADBrowser project which includes the educational browser YADBrowser and its language, OPScript. The authors show some features added to it recently. Using them the author of an educational application can achieve more functionality and adaptation with less code. Also, the YADBrowser reduces the interaction with the server, decreasing this way the application response time. In addition it can keep a record of the actions and preferences of the user during the session. These new features were added to facilitate the creation of dynamic applications, adaptable to student skills. They include “verbal” communication between objects, XML object models and reusable methods. Some features valuable in the development of educational applications with a mathematical component are also presented.
