TRS1000 Teaching Resource System Lecture Notes
Peter Stepien · 2007
A number of different teaching resources are used when presenting a course of study. These include slides used in lectures, lecture notes, tutorial exercises and laboratory exercises. These resources, along with other information, such as announcements, are also usually made available online via a course web site. Traditionally, these different resources were generated using different software packages. As there is duplication of information, such as between the lecture slides and lecture notes, ensuring that information is consistent between resources becomes time consuming. To overcome this problem, a system for generating different resources from a single source of information has been developed. This ensures that there is no duplication of information and that related information are kept together, such as tutorial exercises and the worked solutions to the exercises. The system described actually provides a complete package for managing all teaching related activities, including grading.
