Hi all

Thanks for your advice. 
To make it clear what I need to do, a sample Word file has been attached. Please look at the sample I attached and let me know whether it is possible to create it by using xerte.

Hi All

Is it possible to use pictures instead of texts when multiple choice questions are prepared?

Using Xerte Online Toolkits?

You have you use some smoke and mirrors, and create one composite picture of the four pictures you want to use, and then annotate it, and then use it as the picture for your question, and refer to it in the options.

Does that make sense?

Hi Jason,

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

Subject: [Xerte] XOT

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

On a related note, is it technically feasible to create a matching pairs page type where the options included text image or video in the match permutations, eg text to text, or text to image, text to video, image to image, image to video etc

Or adding video or images to the subpages of hotspot image pagetype etc?

I'm not asking anyone to do lots of work for nowt but if there are no technical barriers there are projects that may be interested in funding the work.
