[Xerte] Adding from other applications

[Julian Tenney]

A related qustion - I was playing around with the google translate API,
and it returns strings containing \u1234 etc. In Xerte, they display as
that: \u1234. How do I get it to display the actual character? I tried
switching \u1234 for \\u1234 <file:///\\u1234>  but no dice. Have you
any idea?

What if you use \u00A0 instead of spaces? That's the Unicode equivalent
of &nbsp; in HTML (a non-breaking space). It should look like a space,
but allow you to test for the existence of the character, just like an
underscore.

I'm teaching EFL. The problem I have is the choice of answer is between,
for example,  worked/ was working. When I've tried to make two word gaps
Xerte objects L If I put two gaps it gives the answer away. I've tried
using underscores and dashes but that's not really ideal.

 

The new templates sound interesting. When will they be available?

I did some work recently on the gap fill exercise to allow parts of
words to be marked up for gaps - previously you could only mark up whole
words. What's a 'two- gap word'?

 

There is also a new template pretty much finished designed with modern
languages teaching in mind - what are you teaching?

My original question was about adding a Hot Potatoes Gap Fill to a Xerte
package in order to get round the problem of two-word gaps in Xerte. Eg
adding a Hot Potatoes page like a Google map but it doesn't seem
possible other than as a link. Not sure how SCORM is relevant either.

Is this expected by SCORM compliant LMS? To play other SCORM contents or
leverage them? I mean I'm not sure what kind of interoperability can be
obtained by complying to SCORM. Is it expected to insert SCORM content
from other product into Xerte piece?
Any point would be appreciated!

No, but you can create links to them from a Xerte piece,

Hi,

 

This might seem a strange question but Is it possible to add activities
from other applications, Hot Potatoes for example, to Xerte or Xerte
Toolkits?
