[Xerte-dev] Re: New Modules

Am not sure they make the released zip, would be good to have an idea
about that.

Trying to work out the rest of the idea, basically it is some HTML,
and then a form, then a series of responses?

The QR code itself seems spurious to the spec?

	Good Morning everyone,

	I’m looking forward to trying these out once they make it into the
distributed zip file.

	I’ld also like to propose a possible new module which would
primarily aid interactivity in the classroom/lecture theatre. The
basic idea would be to combine Ron’s QR Code stuff with a template
enabling users to choose a response aim their phones at the associated
QR Code and add their ‘vote’ or ‘comment’ to a text wall. 

	I could probably write it myself in perl, but that wouldn’t be
terribly helpful to anyone else. Unfortunately it would be well beyond
my current skills with php. My initial thought is that three QR Codes
could be provided, e.g. ‘Yes/Agree’, No/Disagree,Comment/Question.

	The Template would present the viewer with some text and the three QR
Codes. Users could click on one of the QR codes which would actually
by a URL to a php script which updated a text wall. The
Comment/Question option would additionally present the user with a
form in which they could type some text on their device and then
submit that. The Image for the QR Code could be also linked to the
script via a conventional hyperlink, i.e. you’ld click on the QR
code rather than use your phone.

	There are a number of sites which enable you to generate QR Codes on
the fly so this should not be too problematic, and by embedding a
large random number into the URL for each instance you could
differentiate between them.

	This technique could probably be extended to other templates where it
would be useful to solicit feedback from users, e.g. the
‘stimulating question’ type of template.

	Kindest Regards,
Thomas

	Hello,

	https://github.com/patlockley/XOT-simile [4]

	and

	https://github.com/patlockley/XOT-decisiontree [5]

	2 new modules for XOT - should work fine - happy to take on feedback.
Simile is quite complex, decision tree is very basic, but with some
skinning could be quite powerful
