Hi,
When is moodle going to include the hot potatos 6.3 version?
I can download it to a local machine, but i cannot upload to moodle.
I'm not sure what you mean Claire? You can make your Hotpotatoes exercises offline and then upload the files to Moodle as long as you have hotpotatoes enabled in site admin>modules>activities (the eye enabled) The hotpotatoes version doesn't reside in Moodle.
well hot potatos has a new version out 6.3
i dont know what moodle 1.9.5 hot potatos version is?
i didnt want to roll out to our teachers and then find we cannot upload to moodle.

You can use HP 6.3 files on Moodle 1.9.5. No problem there.
thanks.
Hi Claire
Have you done a recent upgrade of Moodle? If so you might have to enable Hot Potatoes ("Site Admin > Activities > Manage Activities" and then make sure that the eye of the Hot Potatoes is open) If this is not done then you wont see "Hot Potatoes" as an option under "Add an activity".

Sorry, i think you have mis read my thread. you may need to have another look.
Hi Claire
I'm using the new Hot Potatoes version with no uploading issues.
What is happening on your side - where does the process break down for you?

Oh no its not breaking down.
I wondered was researching if you could still use version 6.3 hotpotatoes to create things, then upload to moodle without any problems??
I didnt want to roll it out to teachers and then find moodle hot potato activity to be in compatible.

Oh - I get it.
Hot Potatoes activities work brilliantly with Moodle. The reporting and detailed statistics generated by Moodle make it a valuable teaching and diagnostic tool.
They are a great starting point for teachers developing online courses, wanting to include self-marking interactives. They are very easy to create yet also cater for those who want to create some more advanced activities. Media (video, sound, swf ...) can be embedded anywhere into any of the activities.
Any of the recent Hot Potatoes versions would be fine, but it would make sense to use the latest version (6.3).
