[Xerte] Re: personal intro and questions

[Tom Reijnders]

Hi and welcome ;-) ,

Please be aware that there several different tools, each with there own 
strengths and weaknesses. From the Wiki:

Xerte Online Toolkits (XOT)

Xerte Online Toolkits is a server-based suite of tools for content 
authors. Elearning materials can be authored quickly and easily using 
browser-based tools, with no programming required. Xerte Online Toolkits 
is aimed at content authors, who will assemble content using simple 
wizards. Content authors can easily collaborate on projects. Xerte 
Online Toolktis can be extended by developers using Xerte.

Xerte (2)

Xerte is a fully-featured e-learning development environment for 
creating rich interactivity. Xerte is aimed at developers of interactive 
content who will create sophisticated content with some scripting, and 
Xerte can be used to extend the capabilities of Xerte Online Toolkits 
with new tools for content authors.

Xerte 3.0

Xerte 3.0 is a complete overhaul of Xerte 2.x, built on top of the Flex 
framework offering developers a much more powerful and flexible solution 
for interactive development. It is aimed at advanced development who 
will use the Flex framework to develop web-based and mobile applications.

Take your pick...

Also, be aware that currently for Xerte and Xerte Online Toolkits we are 
working very hard to make it a lot easier to develop LO's in a language 
other than English.
