Xerte is a great tool for formative assessment, providing information in nicely chunked size. If a learner needs information to be repeated, and learners with disabilities do benefit from repetition, then Xerte Online Toolkits is a great option for consolidation and reinforce.. It’s always good to be aware to the learners needs, if learners can’t access some slides, amendments would need to be made so planning ahead is always a good idea.

Other features within Xerte Online Toolkits include drag and drop and the ability to show instant feedback, indicating where the learner went wrong. A disadvantages to the drag and drop features is currently there is only the ability to drag and drop text which for some learners this may or be appropriate.
