Hi Ian and Welcome aboard,

I’m chiefly responsible for the USB version of XoT which has helped to get
people started even before their IT Department has installed a server
version. I also help our Learning providers with installation issues,
especially problems with Active Directory authentication which is the
preferred method for FE and other Colleges.

For the future, which I believe to be HTML-5, I’m keen to see if we can get
Xerte to work better with mobile devices. Maybe voice activated? This would
presumably require some re-shaping of the canvas too. I’m also interested
in using IMAP as an authentication system - this will not only help
Learning providers without Active Directory but also those using hosted
services (such as JANET and AMAZON) who do not support the PHP LDAP plugin
- allegedly because it interferes with the Zend Optimiser in Apache.
Development/Enhancement of the present SCORM capability would also be
popular with providers who require this to evidence progression.

I look forward to meeting you in due course
Kindest Regards, Thomas
