I have used Xerte Online Toolkits to create a number of resources for staff and students in the faculty, some of which can be seen embedded on this page. Xerte is designed to be accessible to everyone and is one of the main reasons that I use it. In the learning objects on this page, users can choose the background colour which mosts suits them. This feature is of particular help for users with visual impairments or dyslexia.
I played a leading role advocating the upgrade of Xerte Online Toolkits to version 3.0. I did so because the new version is significantly more usable than before, making it more likely that teaching staff can produce learning objects to help their students without frequent technical support.
The new Xerte 3.0 editing interface includes a standard (WYSIWYG) text editor, making it much more usable for lecturers.
This learning object (LO) is intended for students and includes audio narration and a transcript.
I created this resource for staff to learn about TurningPoint/ResponseWare. It includes formative exercises.
Below is the index LO which enables access to the individual Interactive Video Guides I am developing for equipment in technical labs.
