[Xerte] Re: Problem with LO link

Although not all up-to-date in terms of very latest versions of XOT there is
still plenty of guidance online which is still relevant and a search should
turn up. A few direct links.

Hi

This question makes me feel a bit better about my own problems.  I've been
using Xerte for the last 3 months or so and I'm really excited by its
apparent potential - thanks to all you folks who work so hard to develop it!
I've made a few objects, mainly interactive quizzes, to support students
revision of my course material and help them to construct their
understanding.  It was easy enough to get started using the on-line guides
and build the first object, but once it was ready I didn't have a clue how
to make it available to students - I'd never heard of SCORM or localhost or
all that stuff before - and couldn't find any guidance on what to do next.
I haven't tried to put voice or video into the latest version of Xerte but
my attempts with the previous one were a complete failure (can it be done if
I don't speak HTML?) and I feel that I am by no means realising the full
potential of the programme.  I think it would be wonderful to have some more
on-line guides that would help those of us who are less computer literate
users to get that bit further and potentially would open up the programme to
a wider range of users who might lack confidence. Or do I need to persuade
my institution to support the software?

Many thanks

localhost means you are using your own computer as the web server.

Are you running Xerte from a flash drive or memory stick?

Hello, 

I'm teaching myself how to use the Xerte software to create online library
tutorials for my FE students.  I created a learning object having worked
through a Xerte how-to tutorial, but when another member of my team tried to
view the link it wouldn't work.  The link is:
http://localhost/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=2.  I suspect the issue
is something to do with the 'localhost' bit of the URL.  

Can anyone offer any advice on how to rectify this please? 

Many thanks
