Hope you had a great time off with your new baby. Well yes, there is a new editor (I'm sure Tom will be able to let you have details of his test server so that you can see what we did). It's still very much in beta but is mostly functional. Other than that I don't think that there has been any major changes to anything really, mainly bugfixes etc. jQuery and MEjs we both updated to more recent versions so some page models had to be tweaked to account for some deprecation but these weren't major rewrites... probably taking a quick look through the fixed Github issues will give you some idea of other stuff thats been done... Feel free to email me though if you have any questions :-) (Although i'm on holiday from later today for a week in Lake District and i'll be switching off all electronic devices!!)

From Fay.Cross at nottingham.ac.uk Wed Aug 6 10:19:36 2014 From: Fay.Cross at nottingham.ac.uk (Fay Cross) Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 10:19:36 +0100 Subject: [Xerte-dev] New editor Message-ID: I've just been having a proper play with the new editor Tom and John have been working on and it looks great. It started me thinking about other new features that could be useful in the future - although I'm sure you have enough to be going on with finishing it as it is! I was looking at Captivate last week and it had the option to preview a whole project or preview from a particular point. I could see that a similar 'Preview from current page' option could be useful when editing a page towards the end of a large project in Toolkits. I was also wondering about the potential for pages you add to be on/off so you could, for example, work on adding extra content to an existing project without having to make a copy. Some kind of check box next to the page list to show which pages would appear when published. I know you can kind of do this with preview / publish but something more obvious to show what content is live and so it's not as easy to accidentally publish the wip to the live version. Also, importing pages from other projects you've made - more complicated but I could see it might be something that people would use. The new editor looks really good though, I can see that it will really interest those who wanted to feel like they can more easily customise the standard pages.

Many people are used to doing this in tools like Moodle as well as more dynamic date/time based or interaction based conditional realease. We can already do conditional release to some extent in the xot template by using the historic option and turning off some or all of the navigation on a particular page. I've done this in f2f training to 'release' the next pages/section/activities once everyone in the group is ready to move on. I've also used this to effectively hide pages for remote access LO's e.g. set navigation to historic (or hide the table of contents icon via css if you want the usual linear navigation) and then hide the next button on the last page you want to show. Then move any pages you want to hide down the tree beneath that last page and back again when you want them to show. Importing from other projects has always been something people ask for - again many are familiar with this from Moodle or PowerPoint etc A couple of weeks ago I was doing some testing of the new editor and liaising with Tom and John and we discussed where best to list issues as well as wish list items and suggestions etc. We concluded that github was probably the best place but we need to use the tagging features there to categories and keep each task itemised rather than all mixed up in longer descriptions. Perhaps we use this kind of discussion format on the dev list in combination with itemisation on github? I've been making local notes for the moment (issues, wish list, ideas etc) and plan to find some time to dedicate in September. We could kick start that before and after the online meeting?

Oh well, if any one else has any feedback it's welcome (very much work in progress though!) -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Fay Cross Sent: 29 August 2014 13:54 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Prototype for new Media Lesson template - feedback and ideas needed! I've been working on a new template that Julian has previously mentioned here. The idea behind it was to allow the creation of projects where content appears synched with a piece of media and for it to be far more customisable (different types of content to appear/layout of the page) than the current synched video and audio slideshow pages. There are two examples below for you to try: http://ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk/FC/index.html - synched to a variety of content types (text, jmol, slideshow, flickr etc.) http://ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk/FC/index_map.html - synched to d3 map data (not working on iPad yet) It's kind of a mishmash of a few ideas for it so obviously isn't finished. Some of the things I know I still need to do: * XWD side of things hasn't been looked at yet so all the content's fixed. I would have thought you would add a number of content panels to the page and then select the type of content to appear on the panel and set it's synch point. There would be the option to pause at synch points so students can explore the content in the panels before continuing. * Design - It's currently based on the appearance of the normal template but is this the way to go? I need to look at the flow of it on different window sizes/devices * I quite like having the option to have some fixed text (introduction) for the page but I'm not sure it's done in the best way in the examples above. * Synch to videos from YouTube etc. as well as those you upload to the project yourself. * Synch to audio file instead of video too. Any feedback? What options for content to add to the panels would you like to see? So far I was thinking of text/highlighted transcript/subtitles, slideshow, jmol, xot project, mcq/buttons, graphs/chart/maps. There are a few Popcorn.js plugins already for things like Wikipedia, Flickr, RSS feeds etc. and I've made a few new ones which are in the examples above. We thought it would, at least initially, be a standalone template - not a page in the main xot template. Thoughts on this? I'll add a way to strip the header/borders off it so it could be cleanly embedded in a regular xot project.

On iPad though the video in the first example does play withing the page rather than loading full screen so all that seems to work fine. One immediate use I can see this being used as a video introduction/induction to a normal LO with the screen contents changing in sync and then a link to open the LO normally at the end.

Re the Into text I wonder if that should appear open by defaul and then close when the content is played or when the user manually closes it. Great stuff!

Hopefully to the right list this time... ________________________________________ From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Fay Cross [Fay.Cross at nottingham.ac.uk] Sent: 29 August 2014 13:53 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Prototype for new Media Lesson template - feedback and ideas needed! I've been working on a new template that Julian has previously mentioned here. The idea behind it was to allow the creation of projects where content appears synched with a piece of media and for it to be far more customisable (different types of content to appear/layout of the page) than the current synched video and audio slideshow pages. There are two examples below for you to try: http://ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk/FC/index.html - synched to a variety of content types (text, jmol, slideshow, flickr etc.) http://ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk/FC/index_map.html - synched to d3 map data (not working on iPad yet) It's kind of a mishmash of a few ideas for it so obviously isn't finished. Some of the things I know I still need to do: * XWD side of things hasn't been looked at yet so all the content's fixed. I would have thought you would add a number of content panels to the page and then select the type of content to appear on the panel and set it's synch point. There would be the option to pause at synch points so students can explore the content in the panels before continuing. * Design - It's currently based on the appearance of the normal template but is this the way to go? I need to look at the flow of it on different window sizes/devices * I quite like having the option to have some fixed text (introduction) for the page but I'm not sure it's done in the best way in the examples above. * Synch to videos from YouTube etc. as well as those you upload to the project yourself. * Synch to audio file instead of video too. Any feedback? What options for content to add to the panels would you like to see? So far I was thinking of text/highlighted transcript/subtitles, slideshow, jmol, xot project, mcq/buttons, graphs/chart/maps. There are a few Popcorn.js plugins already for things like Wikipedia, Flickr, RSS feeds etc. and I've made a few new ones which are in the examples above. We thought it would, at least initially, be a standalone template - not a page in the main xot template. Thoughts on this? I'll add a way to strip the header/borders off it so it could be cleanly embedded in a regular xot project.

Yeah just tested that and on both iPhone and iPad the month buttons don't show in the bottom left panel either. On iPad though the video in the first example does play withing the page rather than loading full screen so all that seems to work fine. One immediate use I can see this being used as a video introduction/induction to a normal LO with the screen contents changing in sync and then a link to open the LO normally at the end.
