Xerte
This post is also available in:
Xerte is an authoring tool for creating e-modules with interactive questions, videos, images and informative texts.
E-modules can be used as preparation for a lecture, webinar, (online) workgroup or lab, allowing students to come to class more prepared. E-modules can also replace a lecture or practical, by offering the material to the student online. This provides space in the lessons on campus for questions, discussion, and depth.
Want to learn more about developing e-modules yourself? Check out How to develop an e-module (login with Solis-id) which explains step by step how to design and develop an e-module.
Instructions for Xerte can be found at Xerte | Handleidingen Teaching and Learning tools. This information is in Dutch, the English version will be available soon. In the meantime on the Xerte website you can find instructions and tips in English.

How do I give students access to an e-module I created in Xerte?
There’s an ‘export’ feature in your e-module’s project properties in Xerte. You can place the module in your Brightspace course as a SCORM package and your students will access the module through the Brightspace course.
