Workplan
The core network activities are mainly structured as three work packages
* WP 3 Identification of e-content stakeholders
* WP 4 Coordination of the development of mathematical markup languages
* WP 5 Usage of mathematic markup for mathematics in e-learning
Additional work packages are meant to provide overall steering of activities for evaluation of the network, for concerted dissemination and for the administrative management of the project:
* Project management is captured in WP 1, which is active throughout the project’s lifetime.
* WP 2 acts as Evaluation and quality control and ensures the flow of information among various eContent projects in the network.
* WP 3 covers dissemination and awareness of the results achieved by the network partners. Hence it runs throughout almost the entire project.
| 1 | Project Management | This work package is responsible for the overall coordination and financial management of the network. Among other duties are the installment of necessary committees for deciding the network activities, revision of ongoing progress and work plan, communication with the Commission and with synergistic eContent projects, negotiations with community-specific servers to post and offer semantic math-content. WP No.: 1Task_responsible: Helsingin Yliopisto |
| 2 | Assessment and Evaluation | This work package will setup committees whose task is to put forward evaluation criteria for the certification of the quality of the standards and of the digital didactic content. The committee will take all necessary steps to ensure interaction with e-Learning quality assurance bodies and relevant standardization organisms and report to the network the actions taken.

| 3 | Dissemination and Awareness | This work package is responsible for setting up a network portal and maintaining supporting services, in particular the distribution of news and articles relevant to the activities of the participants, starting from the information included in the Appendix of this Annex. The portal is the main publishing vehicle for the deliverable of the network so it will host the directory of e-authors, the guidelines, and the good-practice sample material. It will be continually updated to reflect achievements, progress and results. WP No.: 3Task_responsible: Technical University of Eindhoven |
| 4 | Identification of mathematical e-content stakeholders | Authors of digital material for mathematics educations will be identified and contacted using the channels provided by partners' organizations and collaborators and invited to register as network authors. The JEM directory of authors of e-content will target publicity using national bulletins, professional societies, department pages. Periodic contact and outreach to new authors will be pursued during the lifetime of the project although self-registration in the authors directory will be possible via the network portal and ensure self-sustainability. WP No.: 4Task_responsible: Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya |
| 5 | Coordination of mathematical markup technologies | Key developers will be assigned responsibilities for user support, dissemination activities and technology watch. Users/developers support will be implemented via the portal by setting up a wiki to collect users/developers requirements, a hotline, FAQs and bug reporting facility.

| 6 | Usage of semantic markup for mathematics in e-learning | This work package is responsible for organizing promotion activities and disseminating sample material which shows the benefits of using semantic markup in e-learning in mathematics, including education about proper usage of eLearning metadata standards. Dissemination of user experience, guidelines, howto's will be organized by a authors' wiki on the network portal and be followed by the implementation of a hotline, a forum with discussions, FAQs, and collection of success stories.
