[Xerte] Xerte on iPhone

[Adam Read]

Hi Pat

Most of the RLOs my colleagues have developed have been along the lines of:

Page1: Block of text, some images, hyperlinks
Page 2: A video
Page 3: a narrated audio track with synchronized images.
Page 4: a mini quiz with feedback

They will be looking to build in quizzes with conditional scripting in the future though.

I guess the main need would be Xerte's ability to style to fit the iphone display and provide an alternative to the flash videos / audio and image slideshow.

Hello,

Desktop non-templated (such good English) RLOs are probably a no go for a while (though cs5 does allow for iphone app creation so that might offer something) because of the flash limitation.

However, we have 1 template at Nottingham using XOT which goes off to generate HTML via a PHP script and so could make a web based template using the Online Toolkits to create iphone stuff for viewing with Safari.

What sort of interactions would you want it to do?

Pat

Hi

We have a number of staff at our institution already developing RLOs using Xerte and they've asked me about iPhone support.

What's the situation with Xerte Objects on iPhone/Touch? I imagine browser viewing is fairly limited, especially with Flash limitations?

Are there any plans to introduce iPhone/Touch templates or developing options? It'd be great to have a publish as SCORM and publish this as something that will play in the iPhone browser.

Thanks

Adam
