Try initialising the SCORM API, see if it's available? From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Smith, Bradley Sent: 29 November 2014 13:34 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Grades via LTI? I found it pleasantly simple to get my Xerte content embedded into Moodle using LTI. It seems to me that this would be preferable to uploading a SCORM zip, since now all I'd need to do to push out a revision to an LO would be to click Publish instead of having to export it from Xerte and then re-upload it to the Moodle. However, I'm wondering about reporting grades from Xerte to Moodle. When I add an LO from Xerte, Moodle adds it to the course grade book, suggesting that it should be gradable, and I've seen some talk online (mostly about other LTI tools) that suggests it's possible to report grades this way, but nothing that explains what I need to do. Any help? -Brad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Officially Xerte 3 is the Flex development tool and no longer under development. The download for that is xerte3beta.exe Officially Xerte = the Windows only developer tool and is action script and Flash based and although still an excellent tool for bespoke content with Flash player output there is no HTML 5 support and no further development of that tool. Xerte Online Toolkits (XOT) = is the webserver version and official stable version = 2.1 In theory the later branches are Xerte Online Toolkits 2.2, develop, editor etc but not Xerte 3. None of the above can be said to be discontinued they still work in the way they have for some time but all new development focus is on Xerte Online Toolkits. So in answer to the numbered questions: 1. XERTE project is discontinued? If you mean Xerte Desktop not really discontinued but Flash only. 2. Is there a document or tutorial to assist in the use of version 3? If you mean the Flex Compiler not really - you're better off with Flash Develop etc. 3. What is better to use: Online Toolkit or the Desktop? Xerte Online Toolkits if you want HTML 5 and new development.

Personally I can't justify flash based output: tablets and phones are just too big a part of the user runtime now. HTML / js / CSS with jQuery is very similar to the old xerte way of working anyway (but much better). I liked Flex a lot: but found the changes between versions of the SDK very difficult to keep up with: I haven't followed it since it became an Apache project: it does appear to still have some life, but mailing list traffic has fallen off a cliff for Flex. Most people have moved away from it (though I think it is used most in large corporates where they have control over the user's environment.

It seems, however, the server is probably not configured to play MP4 files and I need to use these so the LOs will play on mobile devices ok. It should be a quick fix by our IT people apparently. Thanks again, John and Fay, for your replies.
