[Xerte] Re: Learning object does not start

Sun Sep 30 16:47:54 BST 2012

I'm using Xerte (2.18) desktop program.

I tried all three suggested methods to  create three test modules.

Modules are without any content. Names of the objects are default names.

There is no content in modules, empty page.

Preview is o.k. but when I publish module and start index.html file

the result is the same that I described in beginning of the question.

I can record screen that you will see my way of the work.

So far I have used Courselab to made an electronic learning materials. 

I'm ausing Courselab also in educational proces with students. 

I have to pay for new version of Courselab but i don't have any financial resources for that.

The old (free) version of mentioned program produce only IE compatible learning materials. 

Xerte seems appropriate software for producing teaching materials and would like to use it.

I would like to test the Xerte in a Moodle in real life. Which version of Xerte (desktop or Online)

do you recommend me. I would rather use the desktop version because I do not have the

server. I encountered the problems that I would like to resolve before I start with work.  

I would like that Xerte will also use students for producing their electronic learning modules.

You mention Xerte rather than Xerte Online Toolkits, so I am assuming you are using the desktop Xerte program.

What version of Xerte are you using?

What steps did you take to create your project? 

e.g. "file / new" 

or

"templates / page templates"

or

"pages / create new pages project"

Are you able to view your project in Xerte by doing "view / preview"?

The following suggestions will apply if your project was created using either "templates / page templates" or "pages / create new pages project".

Your pages will have forms that you can open which you use to enter the information that the pages will dispay. Have you included in your information any none alphabetic characters such as "#" ?

One other thought. I noticed you are in Slovenia. I am wondering if there might possibly be any characters in your alphabet that are causing a problem for Xerte by breaking the xml.

Try this test.

Create a new project in Xerte using the same method that you used for you current project that is not displaying.

Add each of the two pages that your original project has but do not change any of the default data that the pages start with.

Do "View / Preview" - does your project display correctly?

If should display correctly as at this point everything is still just standard Xerte stuff.

Now add each element of data to each page and test each page by previewing it after adding each element of data.

You may find that it is a particular data element that is causing the problem. This process should help you to identify what if anything is compromising your xml data.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Does it work when you run it locally?

I did small learning module (two pages) in Xerte. 

I tried to run it. Module starts and stands with a screen that says: "xml Loading." 

What did I do wrong? The same situation is when I loaded SCORM package in Moodle.
