Learning resource standards are very important in a courseware authoring system. Some learning resource standards, like Learning Object Metadata (LOM) [1], Content Packaging (CP) [3] and Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) [4] standards, provide a very effective way to process learning resource content. LOM provides a circumspect element set for describing content. CP defines a graceful structure for packaging content and makes it easy to analyze and interchange content packages. QTI standards describes a basic structure for the representation of question and test data. LOM, CP and QTI can be well applied in courseware authoring. Based on them, a standardized visual web-based courseware authoring system named SmartEye system is developed to help courseware developers developing high-quality web-based courseware. This paper instructs the application of LOM, CP and QTI in content authoring and deployment, and also instructs the design and implementation of the SmartEye system.
