The purpose of this short paper is to present and discuss an in-progress work by the author to design and develop an XML and web-based content creation application for content experts to author problem-solving exercises based on cognitive apprenticeship, an instructional approach developed by Collins, Brown and Newman (1989). Using a form-based editor, authors could easily input content data which will be output to a content data (XML) document. A content template (in Flash or other format) then reads the data and populates itself to become a piece of learning content. Such an approach separates the programming logic (encapsulated within the content template) and the content data (XML document). This not only allows content experts to easily create the Flash-based content without the need to own a copy of the software, but also eliminates the need for content experts to learn the use of a complex authoring tool. Since the content (an XML document) sits outside and is independent of the presentation layer (content template), such an approach allows reusability and deployment of content in other technologies, platforms and devices. Prototypes of the editor and content template have been developed by the author.
