Hi All,

We've been working with groups of students to assist them in creating their own learning objects within Xerte. They were then required to export the projects to hand in on memory sticks.

We've had difficulty opening the projects after exporting them (even though they work fine whilst previewing in Xerte) and wondered if anyone else has had the same problem?

We've tested the same project on various laptops/desktops, on and off the University campus (as we thought it could be a network issue). However it seems this wasn't the case as it worked fine on a PC on campus with IE 9 and IE 10, but it didn't work on IE 8 or 11.

It would be really useful to hear opinions on this. I'll be happy to answer any questions/explain further if needed.

Many Thanks

This is a known problem, and we still haven't really found a nice solution for it.

The issue is that, as the xot files have active content (they load xml files at runtime) the browser refuse to do this if the files are located on a disk. So far we know that IE 9 and IE 10 work (after accepting a warning).

Easiest would be, if the XOT installation is on a server, to set the properties of the LO's to public (in properties), and use the link provided on the properties page to access the LO's.
