From dbrown61 at une.edu.au Thu May 1 09:02:08 2014 From: dbrown61 at une.edu.au (Douglas Brown) Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 18:02:08 +1000 Subject: [Xerte] Cost/price for Xerte Message-ID: Gidday fellow Xerte users, We are exploring the use of various software tools and we like what we've seen so far towards suggesting it as a tool to enhance our Uni's Moodle-based offerings. I'd love to get your impressions on the costs per designer/developer and other related costs and especially if you have any suggestions or comments on incorporating Xerte. Thanks in advance.

Xerte is obviously free and open source and will hapilly sit on the same server as your Moodle installation so you could argue there is no cost or very little cost per designer/developer and Moodle + Xerte is a great combination if used in an informed way. By that I mean using each for what they are best at and making informed decisions about when and why to use each including integration with other tools too. In short I'd say it's a 'no-brainer' to use Xerte as part of the range of options you provide to staff and learners especially given the accessibility benefits. The cost comes with provided the initial and ongoing CPD and support to help all users get the most out of Xerte - but then that applies to all tools in use.

Beyond installation anyone can then create LOs. You would only need a designer to change the theme or a developer to perhaps add page types.

I suspect a few places restyle the CSS but this isn't essential or that expensive. I would think most places don't have a developer either. There are about ten Xerte developers and a lot more installs than that. A Xerte install can be done inside a Moodle install so doesnt require any extra servers or space. I'd be impressed if anywhere has a dedicated Xerte admin person, once installed it pretty much rums itself Pat On 1 May 2014 09:02, "Douglas Brown" wrote: > Gidday fellow Xerte users, > > We are exploring the use of various software tools and we like what we've > seen so far towards suggesting it as a tool to enhance our Uni's > Moodle-based offerings. > > I'd love to get your impressions on the costs per designer/developer and > other related costs and especially if you have any suggestions or comments > on incorporating Xerte. > > Thanks in advance. > > Regards, > > Douglas Brown > Online Learning Designer > University of New England (Parramatta), NSW > Australia > > Sent from my iPhone > _______________________________________________ > Xerte mailing list > Xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk > http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/xerte > This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and > may contain confidential information.

In the UK, if you wanted a Learning Technologist to install, configure and administer Xerte, then advocate its use in blended learning, the going rate would be ?32k-?37k. For a consultant, maybe ?250-?300/day (an ex-colleague of mine at Heriot-Watt, who ran her own e-learning consultancy, would charge that). I'm sure that you could translate those numbers into Aussie dollars. I'd say that Xerte Toolkits is pretty easy to set up, as an administrator - the costs in terms of time and money would be in getting academics and teachers to use it constructively and to incorporate it into their learning and teaching, hence the need for a Learning Technologist or similar. Just my 2 cents worth - I'd be interested to read the views of others on the human costs, not least as I'm kinda interested in e-learning consultancy myself... ;-) Cheers Fred www.fredriley.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Douglas Brown Sent: 01 May 2014 09:02 To: xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte] Cost/price for Xerte Gidday fellow Xerte users, We are exploring the use of various software tools and we like what we've seen so far towards suggesting it as a tool to enhance our Uni's Moodle-based offerings.

There are lots of organisations like ours who have paid for a consultant to set it up and manage any maintenance but we're talking about a day or two here and there at the most and we get a lot of use from toolkits. Whatever tool you use the overhead will always be getting hard pressed teaching staff to learn new skills and dare to teach differently.

It would be a tiny fraction of their time. There are lots of organisations like ours who have paid for a consultant to set it up and manage any maintenance but we're talking about a day or two here and there at the most and we get a lot of use from toolkits. Whatever tool you use the overhead will always be getting hard pressed teaching staff to learn new skills and dare to teach differently. But invest in some decent training opportunities and you'll find it's a very attractive cost benefit ratio.

In the UK, if you wanted a Learning Technologist to install, configure and administer Xerte, then advocate its use in blended learning, the going rate would be ?32k-?37k. For a consultant, maybe ?250-?300/day (an ex-colleague of mine at Heriot-Watt, who ran her own e-learning consultancy, would charge that). I'm sure that you could translate those numbers into Aussie dollars. I'd say that Xerte Toolkits is pretty easy to set up, as an administrator - the costs in terms of time and money would be in getting academics and teachers to use it constructively and to incorporate it into their learning and teaching, hence the need for a Learning Technologist or similar. Just my 2 cents worth - I'd be interested to read the views of others on the human costs, not least as I'm kinda interested in e-learning consultancy myself... ;-) Cheers Fred www.fredriley.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Douglas Brown Sent: 01 May 2014 09:02 To: xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte] Cost/price for Xerte Gidday fellow Xerte users, We are exploring the use of various software tools and we like what we've seen so far towards suggesting it as a tool to enhance our Uni's Moodle-based offerings. I'd love to get your impressions on the costs per designer/developer and other related costs and especially if you have any suggestions or comments on incorporating Xerte. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. The Costs of Xerte Some thoughts from a post to the Xerte Listserv ?Xerte is obviously free and open source and will hapilly sit on the same server as your Moodle installation so you could argue there is no cost or very little cost per designer/developer and Moodle + Xerte is a great combination if used in an informed way. By that I mean using each for what they are best at and making informed decisions about when and why to use each including integration with other tools too. In short I'd say it's a 'no-brainer' to use Xerte as part of the range of options you provide to staff and learners especially given the accessibility benefits. The cost comes with provided the initial and ongoing CPD and support to help all users get the most out of Xerte - but then that applies to all tools in use.? ?Xerte Online Toolkits should sit nicely on the same server as Moodle and integrate with it for login purposes. Beyond installation anyone can then create LOs. You would only need a designer to change the theme or a developer to perhaps add page types.? ?A lot of people use Xerte out of the box and so don't change anything or modify it. I suspect a few places restyle the CSS but this isn't essential or that expensive. I would think most places don't have a developer either. There are about ten Xerte developers and a lot more installs than that. A Xerte install can be done inside a Moodle install so doesnt require any extra servers or space. I'd be impressed if anywhere has a dedicated Xerte admin person, once installed it pretty much rums itself.? ?As with all Open Source systems, the costs are in humans, not the software. In the UK, if you wanted a Learning Technologist to install, configure and administer Xerte, then advocate its use in blended learning, the going rate would be ?32k-?37k.

Inside one template I can use browser search function, the problem is searching inside the whole LO. If the LO has a lot of templates with text inside should text search be very useful.

Is anyone working on building a Xerte Toolkits feature to link to resources in learning object / digital asset repositories via SRU/SRW or even RSS? I'm thinking that institutions running Xerte and central repositories (such as Nottingham, natch) might like authors to have the option to search the repository for, say, images or videos, to include in a Xerte LO. I know that each repository resource will have a unique URI which the author could copy and paste into Xerte, but that requires the author (often very naive technically) to go off to the repo, find the resource, grab the URI, and return to Xerte. If the author could search directly from within XOT for resources that would be nice. It would have some spin-offs, such as the author knowing that resources are ok to use from an IPR viewpoint if s/he connects to a copyright-cleared collection in the repo. If the 'plugin' could also allow the author to upload a resource not just to Xerte but to the repo, that would help sharing and perhaps help build OER collections I'm also aware of XPERT. but AFAIK there's no way of directly connecting to it from Xerte. I've not looked at the Xerte 3 beta as yet.

For sure, this could be a hornet's nest, but if the repository is well enough organised then one should be able to construct a query for 'format=image AND subject=hamsters' or somesuch and pass that in SRU. And yes, it's something I may well think about building myself, but I really don't want to duplicate effort if someone else is doing /has done the same. This is only a vague idea in mind at the mo so I don't have anything resembling the slightest impression of a specification.

I've just noticed (belatedly) that LOs from the Bootstrap template can't be exported, because there's no Export option in Properties. Searching the list archives, I found a thread at: http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2013-June/016172.html on this very topic, in which Pat detailed a rather (but necessarily) faffy workaround. Is it still the case that BS LOs can't be exported, and if so is this something that the development community is looking at for future versions? What technical problems stand in the way of export? I understand that import of a BS LO wouldn't work as import requires a file in XOT format. I ask for two reasons: 1. Enabling zipfile export is very handy to transfer/copy LOs from one server to another, particularly if you want to share with another institution that might need to tweak the LO to local circumstances (changing logo, footer etc), as well as for backup. 2. A big selling point of Xerte is that there's no proprietary lockin of content. Cheers Fred www.fredriley.org.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've just noticed (belatedly) that LOs from the Bootstrap template can't be exported, because there's no Export option in Properties. Searching the list archives, I found a thread at: http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2013-June/016172.html on this very topic, in which Pat detailed a rather (but necessarily) faffy workaround. Is it still the case that BS LOs can't be exported, and if so is this something that the development community is looking at for future versions? What technical problems stand in the way of export? I understand that import of a BS LO wouldn't work as import requires a file in XOT format. I ask for two reasons: 1. Enabling zipfile export is very handy to transfer/copy LOs from one server to another, particularly if you want to share with another institution that might need to tweak the LO to local circumstances (changing logo, footer etc), as well as for backup. 2. A big selling point of Xerte is that there's no proprietary lockin of content.

Can I ask, have you tried clearing the cache? Sometime the CSS/JS files get cached and caused issues after upgrade, especially if just done recently. Filing that, can you look in the dev console and see the network tab and see if any 404 (missing file) errors show? Regards, John Smith | Learning Technologist Room A251, Govan Mbeki Building | School of Health & Life Sciences | Glasgow Caledonian University Cowcaddens Road | Glasgow | G4 0BA Please address ALL support requests to hlsblt at gcu.ac.uk where one of the School Learning Technologists will pick up the job. This will ensure that all jobs are completed as promptly as possible. ________________________________________ From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Bardell, Jason [jason.bardell at kent.fire-uk.org] Sent: 21 May 2014 12:39 To: 'Xerte discussion list' Subject: [Xerte] Re: Accessibility icon Hi A Not getting that at all, this is our view?

Does anyone know how to fix in citrix? Additionally if we try to open Learning Objects that we've viewed recently, they fail to open at all which makes me believe that there is a caching issue. We do have Explorer access outside of our citrix which we've cut and pasted the LO's url into and they work fine (not practical solution though), our issue I believe involves our citrix somehow....

Nothing is visible in the box and nothing happens when you click it, it also doesn't sit centrally (it's higher than the other buttons). Is there a fix for this?

Swapping it to SQLite was an easy way of validating this, and the auto-setup stuff was an added because I could.... It is the case that database_library.php could (perhaps should?) use PDO, in which case there'd be no need for the separate database_library_sqlite.php file. Making such a change to database_library.php shouldn't be difficult - I just haven't done it. I wasn't sure if there'd be an issue with me changing the database backend to be PDO based. PDO has been around since PHP v5.1. Is it therefore safe to use/depend on?

It makes it easier to modify the db back-end, and it makes XOT safer against SQL injection. 1. I do think we should probably implement database_library.php using PDO (I would like to do it that way) 2. I do think sqlite has its merits, only not as a default, certainly not for an update 3. I think for the time being mysql should still be the default. So, again, thank you! I would appreciate a PDO implementation if you have one, I will modify the installer to ask what engine to use (and include sqlite) and go from there.
