[Xerte] Re: categories template in xerte online toolkits

[Pat Lockley]

Hello,

So quite a big box then :) I will see what I can code.

Xerte OT has built in tools for submitting your stuff as OCW / OER if
you like into OER repositories such as Xpert
(www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert). Try doing a few searches in Xpert - you
might find materials to repurpose, or content that would help your
students anyways. I helped make Xpert when I worked at Nottingham (one
has moved oneself to Oxford now), as well as doing the web stuff for
XOT (which is why i didn't reply first time to your email - as this
part of the code isn't what I know, but it felt a bit rude to ignore
it twice.

Most academics are new to OER :)

>> Hi Pat - thanks for your reply. At Warwick we are using an external host - palepurple - for xerte. I am afraid I do not know how to code. I guess I was confused since on the page display there was a Check button  - not sure why it's there if there is no option for feedback. So, am wondering whether the template can be amended to allow for feedback to be given or if the check button can be removed on the page display if feedback is not possible. Feedback could be formatted as a space where answers have been written down (as in what occurs with the Stimulating question feedback option). Anyway, any help would be great... if you feel inclined to give it a whirl, that is!
