Introduction
a production tool for the Web from Oberlin CS
developed to support work on an NSF EI grant
responding to curricular changes in Computer Science
using the World-Wide Web as a laboratory vehicle

We originally planned to use existing tools to develop materials, but they were neither robust nor flexible enough for our needs;
we decided to implement a tool ourselves, using the same principles of design we teach.
