Abstract :
One of the advantages of the Web-based mathematics education (WME) system is flexibility. That is, freedom for teachers to customize lesson plans and lesson material. The customized components can then be shared and distributed to anyone else using WME. However, offering such flexibility demands self-sufficiency among WME site components. Reported within are the WME component structures and how they aid methods for handling customization and interoperation.
