Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to quickly transform online resources into widgets. This approach has several advantages over previous solutions. Two small-scale evaluations indicate that this solution empowers the average teachers to become a widget author, without any programming knowledge. The teachers showed their enthusiasm to use this tool in the near future and believe that this authoring tool will help them both during the authoring and teaching process. There are still many features required to be added to improve our tool. For example, the automatic generation of metadata might improve usability and ease of use even more, especially when adding category information to the metadata to ease later reuse for existing widgets.
