[Xerte] non coders?

Thu Feb 18 21:41:31 GMT 2010

Hi Everybody,
Well what a response from a simple 'are their any non coder here?'. Thank
you all so much for you passionate returns. I am blown away by your replys.
I have been looking for an 'Object 'Editor for myself and other educators to
support, on my web site and I believe I have found it. If you are looking
for a home Forum for teachers I have just placed one on my web site that
could easily cope with Xerte...all very basic at the moment but running a
forum on Kunena and site with Joomla, the site changes as we grow. I created
the site through frustration, when schools I have been working in were not
into e-Learning. Digital Teacher is for individuals or small subject
department who find themselves (for whatever reason) without good e-Learning
tools....and the beautiful thing is your tools and LMS go with you as you
move through schools.
Another question please. Are there any teachers out there that run Xerte on
a Moodle LMS?
Thanks again for all your support.

Brilliant, I will join the ning community. How about putting this up on the
community section of the main xerte website?

I would also be keen on the Xerte for teachers forum.
