[Xerte] Re: transcript buttion for audio on Graphics andSound pagetype?

[Davidson, Andrew]

Sorry Julian - not following the connection for your last post. 

 

I'm just wondering if a transcript button can be set up for the media
player when I create a sound file in the Graphics and Sound pagetype.

Yes, you can easily make the video in Windows Movie Maker.

 

Start a new project, import a sound, import a picture and stretch it
across the timeline and output the video. Most likely that will give you
a .wmv, so you'll need to convert it to flv format. You could add
several pictures if appropriate,

Sounds like a sensible idea. My only suggestion would to be to see if
the label of the 'transcripts' button could be changed by the creator.
For example, in some cases it is more appropriate to add 'notes' or
something similar (rather than a transcript) to a video
(graphics/sound).

Hi - I am working with XOT templates and have been working on the
Graphics and Sound pagetype for Media. Recently, Julian was able to get
the transcript button working for the Video page type and now I wonder
whether it would be possible to have a transcript button option for the
Graphics and Sound pagetype. Please see images for reference. The reason
I think this would be valuable is that the space taken up by my
transcript in the text entry location could be used for task
instructions and, for example, reflection questions for the student as
they listen. Then, if needed, they could click on the transcript. As it
is, having the transcript so visible might lead some students to just
read it anyway without first trying to listen.

 

What thinks?

 

Oh, thanks for sorting out the video transcript button, Julian. Much
appreciated.
