A Preview of HTML 5. Abstract#section1 The web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being created every day, pushing the boundaries of HTML in every direction. HTML 4 has been around for nearly a decade now, and publishers seeking new techniques to provide enhanced functionality are being held back by the constraints of the language and browsers. Article Continues Below To give authors more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive and exciting websites and applications, HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics. Work on HTML 5, which commenced in 2004, is currently being carried out in a joint effort between the W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG.

Many key players are participating in the W3C effort including representatives from the four major browser vendors: Apple, Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft; and a range of other organisations and individuals with many diverse interests and expertise. <! Foundation | Education Program. The Education Program makes grants to improve education by expanding the reach of openly available educational resources, improving California education policies, and by supporting "deeper learning" – a combination of the fundamental knowledge and practical basic skills all students will need to succeed.

Since 2002, the Education Program has concentrated on improving the conditions for education policy reform in California and fostering the spread of high-quality open educational resources (OER). We are now building on this pioneering work by broadening our focus to include deeper learning, to help schools nationwide prepare a new generation of students to respond to the ever-increasing demands of a rapidly changing world. Learn more about our focus on deeper learning here. With these grants, the Hewlett Foundation hopes to improve education for all students, with a particular focus on those from disadvantaged areas.
