[Xerte] Re: Using Xerte + Moodle Quiz + Frame = A "new" method of Engaging Students during assessments

[Tom Reijnders]

To have the Xerte Window of the second example behave like that of the 
first:

Set the Display mode property of the Interface to 'full window'. You 
also may want to try 'full screen'. It will fill the window, while 
maintaining the aspect ratio of Xerte.

Regards,

Tom
