Graph Zooming
Customizable applet- beta version
Recently, members of the ESCOT team have been
investigating ways to make the ESCOT EPoWs more
accessible to teachers seeking to integrate the
EPoWs into their curricula. One of the results
of this investigation was a beta version of the
Graph Zooming problem in which teachers can actually
edit the applet itself, and customize it to better
fit the material they are using in conjunction with the applet.
Right now, customizing the applet requires editing
the code of the HTML file that contains the applet
tag. Future versions of this problem will include
a web page containing text entry boxes where teachers
can input their modifications in normal language.
These instructions will be transmitted to the
applet at the click of a button, and a new page
will be generated, incorporating the changes made
to the applet.
Unfortunately, it will take some time before
that system can be developed. The prospect of
editing raw HTML or Java code can be daunting for
most, so a manual is included which gives detailed
instructions on how to edit the applet. Click

(The customizable applet
is not on the ESCOT site at this time. Keep checking
back; it will be up soon!)
