Common Features and Customisation
These pages comprise;
- documentation of features common to all XOT page types (e.g. Toolbar, Media Browser), or to a smaller subset of page types (e.g. Hotspot Editor, Tracking and Weighting)
- guidance on getting more from XOT by working in the source view.
Features common to all XOT page types
| Feature/tool | Description |
| Project properties | These are the properties round, for example, making your project accessible to learners, working collaboratively on it with other authors/editors. |
| Toolbar | The Toolbar can be used to: format text; add styles; add images, audio and video; and much more. Most of the icons will be familiar to those used to word-processing, but it is worth learning about the less obvious icons as they may offer additional optionality and efficiencies. |
| Media Browser | Images, audio, video, PDF files and other assets are all added, and managed, through the Media Browser. An understanding of how Media Browser works will optimise page design, and also offer efficiencies. |
| Working with audio | Audio and video can be added to any XOT page, but there are also specific page types which integrate these with other media or with interactivity, in particular ways. It is useful to understand the range of options that are open to you when working with audio or video. |
| Working with video | |
| Using colour | This page offers advice on using colour, and selecting colour palettes, taking into account issues round accessibility and consistency of use. |
