<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">Sorry Dave!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">We suddenly realised this morning that we’d been so busy with other stuff this week we’d forgotten to advertise. That explains why we only had European friends
 rather than transatlantic ones joining us! Here’s some of the things we looked at – feel free to pass on to colleagues: though you know most of this already but you might like the examples…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:navy"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#215968">The recording is at
<a href="http://www.instantpresenter.com/techdisonline/EA52D787834B"><span style="color:#215968">http://www.instantpresenter.com/techdisonline/EA52D787834B</span></a> - but it starts a few minutes into the session. The first half is an intro to the range of
 features already in previous versions of the Xerte. The HTML 5 demos start around halfway through.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#215968"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#215968">One of the great things the development team have achieved is a backward compatibility so that any existing flash learning objects can be exported from an
 old Xerte installation, imported into the upgraded installation and automatically generate a Flash version and an HTML version. At the moment exact compatibility between the Flash and HTML 5 is not guaranteed because about a third of the 70+ types remain to
 be "HTML5-ed". Version 1.9 is a transition between the previous entirely Flash-based versions and the new version 2 (due for release at Easter) which will be entirely HTML 5 based. Consequently the current version slightly straddles two worlds. There are brilliant
 things you can do that work with the HTML 5 output than all Flash output (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/xertenew"><span style="color:#215968">for example http://tinyurl.com/xertenew</span></a> and
<a href="http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_html5_36#item3"><span style="color:#215968">http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_html5_36</span></a>) as well as some things that you can do on Flash output but not yet on HTML5 (<a href="http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=164"><span style="color:#215968">http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=164</span></a>)
 and some other work equally well on both such as my fieldwork example  <a href="http://tinyurl.com/tdxen"><span style="color:#215968">http://tinyurl.com/tdxen</span></a>. Please note that there is currently a display issue with Internet Explorer on certain
 screen resolutions. Until the bug has been fixed it is probably best to use chrome or Firefox for viewing these examples, especially those containing YouTube clips like the first one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#215968"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#215968">The convergence is to the HTML 5 version and everything (except Flash specific content such as the Flash paper page type) should be working by Easter. We
 have been doing accessibility testing as we have gone a long and made adjustments to the code in the process.</span></p>
