[Xerte] Re: Training in Bath

Thanks Ron. I'll have a look at the guides. I have already created 2 learning units using Xerte standard template and most of the page/interactivity types available in Xerte. They look good. I will try to build our own template for future use. I have some questions but will first try to tackle them. I'll get back to the list if I cannot.

Cheers

Hi
I delivered the training in Bath but you may have already seen the resources
used and the rest was obviously f2f training and support. IN terms of self
access resources there are the guides I put together available from
http://techdis.ac.uk/getxerte and my screencasts on youtube or via
http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte

It does sound like possibly a permissions issue but I'll leave Pat to
respond to that.

Hi there,

I have just subscribed to the list. I have been working on developing online
materials for a JISC funded project (Research Data Training -  MANTRA). The
content we create will be uploaded to our VLE (WebCT) to be used by our post
graduate research students and research staff for research data management
training, and will also be available from Jorum. I have suggested to use XOT
and we have managed to persuade our technical officer to install Xerte on
the EDINA server.

I've found the tools quite intuitive to use and managed to develop some
content straight away. However, we are having some problems (in my opinion
due to our access rights to the material installed on the server). For
example, the export function is not working although pop-ups are allowed.  I
have watched the video for exporting content on the YouTube which seems
quite straight forward but when we select content and try to export it
nothing happens. Also, we cannot access any templates other than the
standard template that is available to create LOs. I guess we should be able
to access them on our server?

Tthe only tutorial I've found on the site was out of date (written for an
earlier version). TechDis presentations were helpful but mainly for the
basics. I see that the training session in Bath was very good. I wonder if
there are any presentations or documents used in the training session that I
could access?

Many thanks
Cuna

Very well thanks, 38 delegates from 15-odd institutions, quite a few of
which have their own installations of the toolkits. Lots of good learning
objects in the process of being created and shared, some searching
questions, lots of hands-on and demos - think Ron earned his crust today ;-)

Some dialogue and questions here:
