SPE – standing for “SDART Presentation Engine” - is an E-Learning Management System developed for a European University in the form of a Rich Internet Application. The system has been designed to make the E-learning faster, easier and less expensive for the teaching provider. The system allows course content to be kept in styled XML-based files. In this way the software layer is separated from the presentation layer, so any updating of presentation materials is extremely easy and fast as it only requires use of any XML editor.
