Research Question: How can we use the World Wide Web to make learning more efficient and accessible?

Methodology: We used the Compound Flow Model (CFM) to create a model for time-directed presentation and processing of universal media objects. We also developed a prototype for a MobIT runtime environment.

Results: Our project, Media Objects in Time (MobIT), is an open system that operates on standard formats for multimedia information content. It presents structural relations between documents, which are specific to the model but can be easily extracted from the underlying XML type definition.

Implications: This project has implications for the future of education. It allows for a more efficient and accessible way of learning, as it places the responsibility for understanding and progressing through the material on the learner. It also addresses the growing demand for synchronised handling of time-based media, such as video and audio. Furthermore, it introduces temporal aspects to the Web, which creates a new level of scalability and becomes important quantitatively throughout the Internet.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the Media Objects in Time (MobIT) project is a significant step forward in the use of the World Wide Web for education. It offers a more efficient and accessible way of learning, and it addresses the growing demand for synchronised handling of time-based media. It also introduces temporal aspects to the Web, which has important implications for the future of the Internet.
