Hi Julian
I have put together a number of questions regarding Xerte which would
help me gather some important qualitative data for my dissertation. I
would be very grateful if you could spend a small amount of your time to
answer these questions. Sorry I know you must be very busy but it would
be good to receive some feedback. I'm looking forward to getting my Diss
finished so I can start using Xerte and get back to developing learning
tools instead of researching and writing about them.
Thanks,
John

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the quick response. I will take you up on your offer of
answering some of my questions. I will put together a couple of
structured questions and send these onto you in the near future and
hopefully I will be able to use the responses in my dissertation. Once I
get to grips with using Xerte I will probably have some technical
queries sometime in the future.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Your masters dissertation sounds interesting, and Xerte certainly fits
the bill. I can give you more detailed information as you need it, but
here's some general info:
We've been developing Xerte since September 2004, and using it for our
own projects since then: the needs of real projects have informed it's
development, and we've covered so much ground now that there's not a lot
Xerte can't do. The design philosophy has always been 'make anything
possible', and so we now have a very powerful set of tools for
developing complex interactivity.
Within our team we have now created around 50 learning objects learing
Xerte. Since we have made it available, it has been downloaded about
1500 times, and our website is getting around 2500 hits per month. There
are no papers as yet, but it will be cited in some papers later in the
year.
Feel free to fire away with any other questions,
Julian

Subject: [flashxmlengine] Request for more information
Hello to the designers of Xerte,
I have recently discovered your xml/flash editor at the moment I
have only had an initial exploration of the tool but it seems to have
the potential to be an important tool to build flash based learning
objects. I have recently completed a project using xml data in a flash
based tutorial, if I had had your product available at the time it would
have saved me some major headaches. I plan to explore the tool in more
detail over the coming months and hopefully use it for upcoming
projects. At the moment I am writing a master's dissertation in
Multimedia and the subject is the impact of XML and Flash technology on
learning tools developed for Higher Education, the Xerte tool is of
obvious interest to my studies. Could I please make a request for more
information on the product - for example have any papers been written
about its development or current usage, any usage figures would also be
useful.
Apologies for using this listserv to make contact but I could
not find a direct e-mail
Thanks for your time,
John
