Hi Jason,

The bug in the multiple perspectives page was fixed a while ago.  I've attached the amended file.

Hello

We are using XOT as part of a regional project, I have noticed a few quirks which you may already be aware of, if you are could you point me in the right direction to sort them out?

Firstly when using the 'Multiple perspectives' slide, we have found that when you add videos of 7 or more you get a scroll arrow what should allow you to scroll to the videos that are there but can't be seen by the user, instead when the learner clicks on the scroll arrow the LO turns grey and nothing is viewable. We have restricted to loading only 5 videos to each slide as an interim measure but wondered how we could fix this please?

Secondly on a couple of occasions when 2 people have shared LO's to edit and produce, they have been greeted with a page that says something similar to 'person 'x' (their username) is working on this LO, if you continue you could lose work(or similar)'. This has happened on a number of occasions and each time we have confirmed through telephone calls that the other person is not online & therefore not editing the LO. Is there something we should be specifically doing when sharing objects to close them down?

Thirdly, when using timeline/matching pairs we have a 'glitch' where the 'green ticks' for the correct answers hasn't been correct. The example in question has four questions and four possible drag and drop options, twice we have had it that the learner has scored 3 out of 4, and not the true result of 4 out of 4, I attach a screen shot for you that captures this.

It is worth adding that although I have full administrative privileges, I am by no means a technical whiz and you might need to explain a step by step process to get me though any answer you may have for this.

It is also worth adding that XOT is a great authoring tool and we are enjoying creating LO's and getting learners involved. Thank you for such a great and useful tool!

Regards

Jason
