Hi,

Great you are looking at eXeLearning for this.  You are correct the plain ‘idevice editor’ will not suffice here; you would need to create your own iDevice.  You essentially need to implement two classes in Python: one class that descirbes the fields (e.g. text, etc) and another class that describes renders those fields into HTML.  I made some development notes on iDevices here:

https://forja.cenatic.es/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/iteexe/index.php/CreatingAnIdevice

You may also want to see the article on setting up eclipse for eXe development here:

In the medium term there has been discussion on using just HTML/Javascript for iDevices so that you could make a new iDevice using an XML config file and html/javascript code only; but until that time comes one has to use some Python as well.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Actually most of the idevices don’t use flash – there are options to add flash but that’s all.  The output of all the major idevices is just HTML/Javascript/CSS so it generally works pretty well on mobile devices.  You can export both EPUB3 files to download/use offline or publish as a website and use via the device’s web browser.  Most of the styles feature responsive design elements and you can also create your own style (using your own css/javascript) should you so wish.

Hi,

Speaking English is completely fine.  One way to do this would be to create a custom style and add your own Javascript: see https://forja.cenatic.es/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/iteexe/index.php/Styles and look at the existing styles for examples. 

To be honest what I have sometimes done is change the files after exporting them from eXe.  There is a command called exe_do that can be used to run an export from the command line: so you could for example have a script that exports the ELP file and then adds your own custom javascript etc.

Of course for SCORM you need to use the SCORM quiz iDevice; the others will not themselves talk SCORM.  Unless you mean you want to use your own script triggered at the end of a page to send SCORM statements.

Hope that helps.

Hi, Regarding the issue that the style did not appear you should make sure that it is in the same directory structure as the other styles; I would recommend you look at https://forja.cenatic.es/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/iteexe/index.php/Styles for a bit of additional background there.

You can customize the CSS as you like so you should be OK to use Google web fonts using an import in the CSS; e.g. @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);

Hi,

It was actually designed that way to allow the feedback to be displayed on top of the interaction.  That said; no one seems to like it that way (we used it to put large checkboxes and crosses in the middle of the screen).  So perhaps an option for where to put the feedback would work?

Hi,

Using Google translate I think this refers to the memory match game that I authored – I will check the file out later during the day.  In the meantime you might look at this old wiki page:
