Co-Creating the Future: Building AI Into Xerte Through Community Collaboration
Inge DONKERVOORT, DLearning

In 2024–2026, the Xerte community integrated AI into its open-source e-learning authoring tool—while safeguarding accessibility, transparency, and user control. This session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how educators, developers, and accessibility experts defined real use cases and guardrails together. We’ll share lessons learned and challenges (also financial challenges), plus early examples of AI-supported authoring in Xerte. A practical case study in responsible, community-led innovation.
