Capacity Focus, 46: Distance-oriented e-Learning, the Moodle CMS, and Xerte and Exe authoring systems

This course in the Scratch Programming Language shows how Moodle works, with multimedia elements. The Mt Orange demo dummy school, shows how Moodle can be used to develop a cybercampus. As tutorial sessions 7 & 8 above show, Xerte can be integrated, and of course so can be other content development packages.

Quick and dirty: tutorial covering the Xerte Online Toolkits Graphics and Sound page including optional properties.

Where do we go for something that is educationally structured, and would fit with education content management systems like Moodle?
The sampler is available and it is free for download and it is integrated with Moodle for use on a 2 GB memory stick. A sandbox for experimenting is helpful since the idea is that Xerte is Moodle's salvation. Finally, eXe may be a simpler approach.
