you need the whole directory, not just the rlo file.

Thank you for that. However, when I preview chunker.rlo (as shown in the
tutorial) I don't get the buttons to the left of "Step 1: Select a piece of
media". I've tried it both at work and at home.

Check out the xerte svn and you'll find chunker.rlo in
templates\mediaInteractions\src. Run it - you'll have to install Xerte.

See the attached tutorial. Basically you load up a piece of media, load up,
paste in or write some text. Break it into the chunks you want (if these are
sentences it can split it on '.'s.)

Play the media, press space to indicate the beginning of each chunk.

It never quite got finished the way I'd like it, so use at your own risk -
but it works well enough. You might still need some fine tuning.

Could I ask again about this? I would like to make Dictations and Drag
and Drop Words interactivities with the Media
Interactions template, but don't know how to break the associated
transcript up into chunks.
