Dear Colleagaues

In addition to the XOT training event taking place in London, I would like to draw your attention to the event taking place at the University of Glasgow, delivered by Ron Mitchell.

Free XOT Training Event

 *   10 am – 3:30pm Tuesday 21st May 2013.
 *   University of Glasgow IT suite (Jura Lab).
 *   Level 4 (see map location D:11 of the Campus Map<http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_1887_en.pdf>).

Xerte online Toolkits (XOT) is a free content creation tool developed by Nottingham University in collaboration with Jisc Techdis and enables the creation of accessible, interactive online content using a series of templates.  It allows staff to create rich online content.

Xerte can be used:

 *   To support blended 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.

This event will be of interest to:

 *   Staff who have attended XOT training previously and who have a tacit knowledge of the XOT interface.
 *   Learning Technologists.
 *   Curriculum staff who are interested in/comfortable with developing educational content.
 *   Staff who want to create inclusive content and who have competent technical skills.
