Abstract |
The evolution of writing technology from early writing instruments to modern
day computers, created a great impact in social organization, cultural
transmission, learning, communication and language. Yet, early word processing
systems exhibited issues in the visual correspondence between the
author's display and the printed output, which was a critical problem in
a paper dependent world. The rising of graphical user interfaces and the
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) writing approach in the
early 1970's restored this correspondence, allowing the user to visually format
documents and produce fixed sized formats capable of printing. This
approach is still dominant in word processing, desktop publishing as well as
web authoring systems, despite the recent technological breakthroughs and
the growing independence from paper. The rising of the Internet and mobile
devices triggered the creation of WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You
Mean) approach, as well as the use of reflowable content instead of fixed
sized formats. WYSIWYM reduces the visual formating capabilities and
encourages authors to semantically annotate the document's structure, providing
an automatic visual feedback for every structural element. Moreover,
the gradual penetration of Learning Management Systems in educational
practice, raised the interest for learning theories and instruction with new
technologies. In this thesis, we present the design and implementation of
MeanWriter, an HTML5 WYSIWYM writing and reading tool that incorporates
features deriving from writing research and modern learning theories.
Apart from the simple interface, MeanWriter provides facilitations for planning,
organizing and revising documents, as well as for the customization of
the visual layout that satisfies the preferences and the visual abilities of the
reader.
