6. Conclusions

Authors are truly the richest part of the Swiss Virtual Campus project. Often, it is the first time that professors from various universities collaborate for a long period of time on an educational project. It is therefore essential that the fruits of this collaboration be carefully collected and that their preparation happens with the least obstruction of the iterative cooperative edition process. The solution proposed, based on a custom-made Microsoft Word template and a set of macros used to translate the tagged Word document into a set of related HTML pages has proven to be very efficient in the preparation, iterative edition and translation of the course material. The proposed methodology could easily be applied to other target publication environments, such as the major platforms.
