Convergent Publishing Workflow for Online Classes – Teaching Materials from Meta Formats

Abstract

Online teaching in 2020 forced many educators to adopt new teaching methods. Instead of working in the classroom with handout and oral presentations, online teaching requires new teaching materials and documents. These are usually created in different formats with different software and is often redundant. The present paper proposes a research on workflows and practical applications to streamline the publishing process by proposing authoring in a meta data format and publication of convergent teaching material from a single document. The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of education by reduction of redundant workflows in the creation process of teaching materials.
