Xerte Online Toolkits

Xerte, developed at Nottingham University, provides a set of tools for teachers and elearning developers to create accessible interactive learning materials easily.

Xerte Online Toolkits is a server-based environment for creating content. We have installed it at Cardiff as part of a pilot, which means that members of the University can create and edit content in their web-browser, without installing any additional software, at https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk.

Xerte can produce learning materials that are media-rich, with images,  sound and video, charts, quizzes, interactive drag-and-drop exercises, hotspots and annotated diagrams. But creation is simple: you just select pre-defined page types and fill in a few parameters to create each slide.
