Xerte Online Toolkits, usually abbreviated to Xerte, (and pronounced Zertee) is an interactive content creation tool. You can use it to make web-based learning objects, without the need for programming skills.

The University had its own installation available for staff and students to use, but it is being withdrawn due to security concerns and very low levels of use.
