Thinkwell was founded in 1997 with a mission to reinvent the college textbook. Our intention was to capture the voices of great teachers – those that resonate with students – and publish those voices through a series of multimedia video lessons. Back in those days, that was really the core of our offering. We’ve broadened our vision since then. We’ve added a lot more content and services and built a couple of different platforms to deliver it all online.

Benefits of HTML Parsing

–

Parsing Maple T.A. output allows us to separate content from data and user interface elements

–

We can use content directly and plug it into our environment

–

We can transform UI elements and use them as needed
