for new topics for 2011. Please bear in mind that the Xerte Friday sessions are
generally aimed at teaching rather than technologists audience. Should future
sessions look at using Xerte in specific subject areas? In specific sector
areas (adult community learning, work based learning, undergraduate, schools
etc) or even with specific disabilities (dyslexia, visually impaired, deaf
etc)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
