[Xerte] Re: Controlling audio in 'media interactions' template

No, that functionality would have to be developed...

You could use the narration property of the pages in the main template to play sounds on each page.

We're sort of planning to merge the two templates because people keep complaining that they can't have the bits they want from both.

Subject: [Xerte] Controlling audio in 'media interactions' template

Hi

I'm a medical student making a language learning tutorial using the media interactions template: It's been really useful, as I have no experience of writing script. Especially the keyboard feature, thanks!

I have a piece of audio with a full transcript on the left, and on the right I am using the transcript in 'fill in the blank' exercises. These follow the order of the audio.

I was wondering whether there was a way to stop the audio resetting itself between interactive exercises, so that you don't have to keep refinding the place in the audio? This isn't ideal as the audio feature does have a minutes and seconds indicator.

Alternatively, is there a way to embed the 'fill in the blanks' exercise and a section of the audio on the same page?

Thanks
Ruth
