GOOD Publishing System: Generic Online/Offline Delivery

GOOD is a tailor-made, fully integrated publishing system that creates output documents for multiple media types used in both online and offline teaching modes at the University of Southern Queensland. It is used in the Distance and e-Learning Centre of USQ to create course material for thousands of on-campus, online and external students. Among the end products generated from a single XML input document containing study material for a specific course are study books, introductory books, and web sites in a variety of formats. Future end products currently being investigated include voice rendering. The GOOD system is entirely based on open standards such as XML, XSLT, DOM, and XSL:FO and implemented with JAVA/J2EE technology. Among its features is a smart editing client to allow technically non-proficient staff to edit their own course material. Keywords Document Management and Publishing, XML authoring.
