It's not straightforward. Right now, Toolkits content will run on Android, but not iOS because Apple don't support the Flash Player, but even that's not perfect. Long term the goal will be to create an app that can consume, parse and render the xml on iOS, but that's a long way down the line.

Ron knows better than I how the content works on various mobile devices... Ron?

Hi Julia

Xerte Learning objects are embedded flash files which won't play on Apple devices (as they don't support this format).

I'm not sure if the chaps have a work-around or if future support for non-flash devices in on the development roadmap.

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could offer me any advice please?  I am about to embark on a project which involves creating Reusable Learning Objects for mobile devices (e.g. iPad, iPod, BlackBerry etc) and was wondering does Xerte allow these Reusable learning objects to be delivered through such mobile devices please?



Many thanks,



Julia
