color=#0000ff size=2>There isn't currently a template for doing such an
interaction, so you'd have to build one. How complex that is really depends on
how complex you want to make the scenario. If it's as simple as presenting a
stimulus and have the user select from a list of options, and then present
feedback in the form of text with perhaps optional images, it would be quite
easy. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

together, thus creating a linear sequence of essentially multiple choice
questions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Take a look at the pageTemplate.xtp in the [xerte]/wizards
folder. It has a number of page types, one of which is multiple choice question.
You could adapt that, or perhaps it works just fine. To create a project from
this file, double click the xtp file. Xerte will make the new project and open
it (sometimes it doesn't open - just double click the rltfile in the folder you
created the project in if this happens).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=465563710-17062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Is the scenario you want to support as simple as that? If
it gets more complex (i.e. if a and b but not c then go to page x, else if a not
b or c then goto page y else if not a or b and c then goto page z) then you hit
two problems: the code is more complex, and the template editor gets more
complex too. I'd highly recommend keeping it simple.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Javi Portillo<BR><B>Subject:</B> [Xerte] Making conditional itineraries with
Xerte<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>I have been keeping an eye on Xerte since a bit more
than a year, but never really working with because I find this tool a bit too
much complicated for the people (normally university teachers) who come to my
workshops. To give you a quick idea, the average skilled teacher feel confident
with eXe Learning, Blogger, Wikispaces...<BR><BR>Now I have a different demand
(of similar skilled teachers) who want to create materials where students would
find "conditional itineraries": what I try say (i'm not sure if this expression
is correct) is something like a practical problem, let's imagine a doctor making
a diagnostic, where depending of the decision of the learner s/he would be taken
to different slides.<BR><BR>I imagine that there is no problem of building these
kind of itineraries with Xerte using the code. What I wonder is if we can make a
primary template that will allow non skilled users to edit content in the pages
(that's ok) and be able to modify this itinerary (that's my
question).<BR><BR>For instance, let's imagine that a teacher is presenting a
situation ( symptom of a patient) and the template has two possibles answer,
let's say A (flu) and B (cold) and he wants to add a third one C (food
poisoning). <BR><BR>I have been looking around to the examples (problem-based
learning) and looking at the possibilities of duplicating items and importing
models, but I'm not able to understand the code and so I'm quite limited to
evaluate the possibilities. <BR><BR>Do you have any example that would fit (at
an elementary level) these needs so that I can present Xerte in a meeting where
we have to evaluate different solutions to these problem. Or just your advice or
experience in similar situations.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance,<BR clear=all><BR>--
