[Xerte] Re: Selling xerte to colleagues

Those are (in my humble opinion) very vague requirements, so I'll write 
down what Xerte can do in these two area's.

- SCORM compatibility

In Xerte 2.0 SCORM capabilities have been enhanced:
  * Don't need to think of it during authoring. SCORM is added on Export
  * SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 3rd Ed.
  * tracks all pages (visited, duration) and currently quiz and Multiple 
Choice Question. More than 1 of these can be combined, and a weight can 
be assigned.

- Wide-interactivity

Interactivity through programming is available to developers by 
adding/changing page models/templates.
With the quiz you can currently have say 50 questions and ask the 
learner 10 random questions out of those 50.

The whole point of Xerte itself is there is no need for programming by 
the author.

But again, it is setup in such a way that it's easy to add page 
models/templates to the system, and those are in Javascript (for the 
latest engine).

Hope this helps.

Tom
