Jump to:
What is it and why does it matter?
Xerte Online Toolkit (XOT) is a free Open Source tool developed by the Information Services team at the University of Nottingham. JISC Techdis has supported development and dissemination of XOT in a range of different ways because:
- It allows staff with limited technical skills to create rich online content.
- It can be used:
- To support distance learning.
- To support collaborative creation and sharing of subject content.
- To support active classroom/lecture contexts, especially with interactive whiteboards.
- To support learners in being active content creators.
- It has a range of accessibility benefits (colour and font change, keyboard access and text to speech) built into it.
