Hi Inge

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the delayed reply but I haven't been in the office since I sent the link out.

I think the template is going to be discussed in today's meeting - I'm pretty sure all your suggestions are possible and are things I'll look into.

Cheers
Fay

Hi Fay,

Again... I love this template!
On my desktop computer it works great in FF 31.0 and Chrome 36.0, in IE 11 the side panel doesn't show the map and sometimes the text is on the bottom of the panel.
Have to test on my phone and iPad and on the Mac. Will tell you that later.

I have a few questions/ ideas:
I'm wondering if it's possible to have a quiz (or other interactivity) and depending on the outcome it will navigate to a new page?
Is it possible to add an interactivity (any) and when you submit the video starts again?
Will the template be responsive?
In the light of the new editor, is it possible to use the editor in the text- and title fields?
Is it possible to have more pages behind each other in this template?
It's very useful to embed this in a 'normal' Xerte object so your option to strip away the top and bottom is very good.
Will this also be possible the other way around?

Bye,
Inge

Looks great Fay and I can see people getting very excited about the

possibilities.

On IE 10 on my laptop the map data doesn't show (content of the right panel)

but does in Chrome and Firefox.

Haven't tested on iPad yet but on my iPhone when you click to play the video

it loads full screen so covers the other panels.

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!

Ron

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.

Thanks

Fay
