[Xerte] non coders?

Fri Feb 19 09:22:54 GMT 2010

Good idea. I was thinking about setting up a page on the xerte web site
maybe, or the wiki, where we can contribute pedagogical design patterns,
maybe with links to examples. I agree entirely that the instructional
strategy is what underpins the actual learning. As a technologist I have
heard educational types chastise me with 'well, we can't have the
technology leading the pedgogy', to which my muted response is usually
something along the lines of 'ok, lets see the pedagogy then'.

I think it would be great for people starting to use online materials in
their teaching to have a source of inspiration for how to use them
effectively. Simple, sound ideas that we can describe in a couple of
paragraphs, and not necessarily Xerte specific.

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.
