[Xerte] Re: transcript buttion for audio on Graphics and Sound pagetype?

Yes, you can easily make the video in Windows Movie Maker.

Start a new project, import a sound, import a picture and stretch it across the timeline and output the video. Most likely that will give you a .wmv, so you'll need to convert it to flv format. You could add several pictures if appropriate,

Sounds like a sensible idea. My only suggestion would to be to see if the label of the 'transcripts' button could be changed by the creator. For example, in some cases it is more appropriate to add 'notes' or something similar (rather than a transcript) to a video (graphics/sound).

Hi - I am working with XOT templates and have been working on the Graphics and Sound pagetype for Media. Recently, Julian was able to get the transcript button working for the Video page type and now I wonder whether it would be possible to have a transcript button option for the Graphics and Sound pagetype. Please see images for reference. The reason I think this would be valuable is that the space taken up by my transcript in the text entry location could be used for task instructions and, for example, reflection questions for the student as they listen. Then, if needed, they could click on the transcript. As it is, having the transcript so visible might lead some students to just read it anyway without first trying to listen.

What thinks?

Oh, thanks for sorting out the video transcript button, Julian. Much appreciated.

Andy
