[Xerte] tutor

Thu Mar 19 10:12:03 GMT 2009

I'm interested in learning how to set up a site that offers drag and drop, hotspot, MCQ activities etc. with images, sound and video incorporated. It should be in a custom interface with my own navigation buttons. I would also like to make tests and track the results, i.e, send them to a database or to a text file in a specified folder (scripting?). This is the kind of thing I do with Authorware and put on our LAN (exe files). I also use 'Inno Setup' to make programs which students can download from the Internet and access from home. 

It all works very well, but like everyone else, I need to prepare for the future and step out of my comfort zone a bit;-(

I don't know any java/action script!

I'm in the UAE and can participate in a course/discussion any day after 12:30pm UK time (or earlier Fri/Sat).

That's a good offer, thanks a lot. 

I need some idea of what sort of time of day in the UK would be good for
those of you elsewhere in the world. I know some of you are in the US,
so I'm guessing sometime between 1pm and 5pm here would coincide with
your morning. Perhaps Fridays are better days for you to find time to
attend? We could maybe have a session on the first Friday of a month for
more technical aspects of Xerte - how would that suit everyone?

Potentially, then we could do an initial session 2pm, Fri 3rd April?
Would that be OK with you Alistair?

Julian and co - 
if you want to extend the XerteFriday sessions just give us some dates
and so long as one of us is free to set up the sytem we'll find ways of
supporting this community in some more technical training for the coder
community...
our only pre-requisite would be that people "doing their own thing"
don't use their skills to ditch the brilliant accessibility benefits
that the toolkit version of Xerte provides!

Maybe we can fix something up. We are already doing 'Xerte Friday'
sessions on the last Friday of the month online, through an instant
presenter session techDis host for us. These sessions are aimed at
toollkits / page templates users. I'd be happy to do a few more
technical sessions, aimed at scripters, (and authorware users),
explaining how Xerte came to be (and how it differs from Authorware),
and walk through the icons and some scripting. I might have to do it
over my sandwiches.

Tell us more about what you think you'd like. Who else would be
interested? I'd encourage others to join in presenting stuff as well - I
am vaguely aware of a lot of Xerte projects out there, and I know there
is some really good work being done. 

There is a good community developing here - lets see what we can do,

Kevin: Open to tutoring or open to attending?

I can possibly make WebEx available for training sessions, if someone
else
can throw in the conference call, and of course someone is willing to
teach
us noobs.

I'm in Albany NY (USA) btw, so I am operating on GMT-5.
