Objectives of CabriJava

CABRI in the Web pages

• many Webs around CABRI: for teachers or pupils, sometimes carried out by pupils, in Math, but also Physical, Mechanical... illustrated by static images = snapshots of CABRI figures
• how to put dynamic geometry on the Web?
  • first solution: figures CABRI to be downloaded by a link and configuration for the server and the navigator to launch CABRI automatically
    • need for the Net surfer for having the software CABRI II
    • configuration of the navigator to make on a side and modification of the server of the other
  • second solution: creation of animations to be integrated in the pages
    • images animated without interaction : no direct engagement
    • animations with direct interaction (Director: shockwave or flash): long effort to be created, limited engagement
  • third solution: realization of " plugins " specific to each platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS..)
    • long work to repeat in triple (one for each system)
    • preliminary downloading of the plugin and configuration necessary : be likely not to be tested

Tool well supported by the modern navigators

• must work well on the first visit of the page : if not almost no effort to correct context
• choice of a tool which will remain supported in the future: long-term investment for the writers of Webs

Easy to use without additional cost

• not to limit the access to the tool by a purchase of licence : Webs intended for those which do not know the interest of the dynamic geometry, rather than with convinced.

Rich interaction, similar to CABRI-GEOMETRY

• CABRI uses the most advanced techniques of interaction or invents them : the tool chosen on the Web should not (or not too...) degrade this richness.
