Skip the first two paragraphs of this post, which amount to an exceptionally awkward opening, and begin with the third paragraph for an exploration of how Flas and XML combine in e-learning.

Separating the content from the framework of the course provides big benefits." I've messed around with this a bit; the problem is that I am too cheap to pay for a Flash development platform, which means I can only use pre-existing Flash applications to display my XML.
