Xerte Online Toolkits webinar from EIFL-FOSS: creating e-learning resources

Do you want to be able to easily create web-based resources bringing together a range of media?

Do you want to present information to your users in a new way?

Xerte Online Toolkits is an easy way of delivering a variety of information in a range of media into a single, accessible learning object that runs in any browser.

There are 65 page types to choose from - some of which are designed to help you present images, or audio, or video; some of them are designed to help you import resources from Flickr, Youtube, GoogleMaps; some of them help you to present information in different orientations on the screen; some of them enable your users to engage with the materials, such as helping you design quizzes and games.

To find out more about Xerte Online Toolkits you can see a short overview video, an introductory video for teachers, and an object created by a library to highlight scanned documents of local historical importance.

There will be an EIFL-FOSS webinar on August 16th on Xerte Online Toolkits. The webinar will not focus on server installation techniques (these are covered very well in the guide mentioned above) but will focus on:

• Getting started with Xerte Online Toolkits
• Creating your first object
• Adding pages to your object
• Incorporating multimedia
• 'Hidden' features such as Narration
• Other FOSS tools that help you get the best from Xerte 

The presenter for the session will be Simon Ball, EIFL FOSS Programme Manager
