It is freely available to the community but for technical reasons (I don’t do coding so don’t ask me what they are!) I don’t think it has been incorporated into the main Xerte build – unless the latest release proves me wrong. The colours were tweaked by the same guy when we uploaded our Xerte install but other than that one page type everything else was off the shelf online toolkits.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Online toolkits is very powerful and I hope one of the things we showed today was that while as a tutor you can’t necessarily do everything you might dream of doing you can do a great deal that looks fantastic in very little time with very limited technical skills. As you get familiar with the templates you also begin to see pedagogical opportunities you wouldn’t have thought of beforehand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>A commercial Flash developer could have taken weeks to develop today’s LO from scratch and would have charged handsomely.
