Hi Basil,

I believe Cardiff and Swansea already have installs if that helps motivate your IT people ;)

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?

Subject: [Xerte] Problem with LO link
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

Kimberley Godwin
