[Xerte] Xerte on iPhone

[Patrick Lockley]

Hello,

 

Page 1 is easy peasy

 

Page 2 is awkward format wise - does FLV work on the iphone - guessing
not - quicktime? Formats? Streamed? Not streamed?

 

Page 3 isn't hard, I have an idea in my brain how to code it already.

 

Page 4 as above.

 

The issues are

 

Video playback - formats - players, does it have to be inline - can it
be a link

Sound playback - formats - player?

 

You know much PHP / javascript?

 

Pat

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
