====Educational==== Another OpenDoc container application, called Dock'Em, was written by MetaMind Software under a grant from the [[National Science Foundation]] and commissioned by The Center for Research in Math and Science Education, headquartered at [[San Diego State University]]. The goal was to allow multimedia content to be included in documents describing curriculum. Several [[physics]] [[simulation]]s were written by MetaMind Software and by Russian software firm Physicon ([[OpenTeach]]) as OpenDoc parts.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://gregmaletic.wordpress.com/2006/11/12/opendoc/#comment-368 | title=OpenDoc - Comment by Arni McKinley | author=Arni McKinley | date=December 19, 2006 | work=Greg Maletic's Blog | access-date=April 8, 2008}}</ref> Physics curricula for high school and middle school focused on them. With the discontinuation of OpenDoc, the simulations were rewritten as Java [[applet]]s and published from the Center as The Constructing Physics Understanding (CPU) Project by Dr. Fred Goldberg.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cpuproject.sdsu.edu/default.html|title=Constructing Physics Understanding|last=The CPU Project|date=February 2001|publisher=San Diego State University|access-date=April 9, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509181557/http://cpuproject.sdsu.edu/default.html|archive-date=May 9, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> Components of the E-Slate educational microworlds platform were originally implemented as OpenDoc parts in [[C++]] on both MacOS and Windows, reimplemented later (after the discontinuation of OpenDoc) as [[Java applets]] and eventually as [[JavaBeans]].
