Hotpot (plugin)

Hi Gordon, I've created 2 JCloze text only exos on your site, one standard, one drop down. Both work fine. Both based on the htm file. Both Hot Pot navigation.I guess I should put all that in the exercise title??? It would be simpler for me to continue with this JCloze exercise making it progressively more complex rather than jumping to another app. Is that OK with you? Sorry, can't help with Qedoc and ISpring - I've never used them. What do you mean by "html only"? Cheers, Glenys

In hotpot 2.0, hitting return expands or collapses the advanced settings; in 1.9 and earlier hitting return effectively was the submit button (as is typical, I think, of forms elsewhere.)

Is this intentional?  (I personally prefer the old way.)

Hi Claude,

Gordon had put it in a previous discussion. Here it is again:

You can test the HotPot module for Moodle 2.0 here:

• URL:http://bateson.kanazawa-gu.ac.jp/moodle/20/mysql/
• Course: Course Fullname 101
• Username: guestteacher
• Password: taskchainv09

Cheers,

Glenys

PS. Gordon, you could maybe put this in a more central place - in the "Introduction" field to this forum.

Hi Claude,

Yes, this is the right place for reporting issues.

I had a look at your JGloss settings and it seemed to me you had stipulated a "Give up" button but I don't see it. (Now, when I click on the editing icon, I get a page not found .... Oh, you must have been editing, because I can now.) Yes you do stipulate the "Give up" button and "Wait till the student clicks OK". So it isn't normal. The glosses pop up in strange places too.

I'll try putting up a JGloss too - though most of mine have pictures.

I don't remember how JGloss works in HotPot - I've only been using QuizPort for well over a year now. This Hot Pot module for Moodle 2 seems half way to QuizPort.

----

I put up a JGloss and though I have a "Give up" button it didn't wait for me to click on it - the exercise just disappeared the same as yours. i don't know why I have a "Give" up button and you don't. We seem to have the same settings.

I know this was a problem in Hot Pot with WebRhubarb: students couldn't contemplate the result at the end. This has been solved in QuizPort with the setting "Wait till the student clicks OK".

Cheers,

Glenys

Dear Claude and Glenys,

thanks as always for testing and sending in feedback. We are quickly running up quite a list of things to fix. I wonder how we can best control that? For the time being, I am making a note of these things on my own "to do" list, and will get to them as I have time.

Glenys, it is very useful to have found two similar quizzes with a dewplayer, one that works and one that doesn't. I will look into that. please leave the quizzes as they are.

I apologize for having given conflicting requests: first of all I said please test images, audio and video, then I said don't. Eventually we need to verify these things, but at the moment I do not have time to investigate them fully. Until I can get to that, I would be very grateful if you could experiment with the other settings:

• Entry page:
  text, options
• Exit page:
  text, options, next activity
• Display:
  output format, navigation, title show stop button, use filter, use glossary, use media filter, student feedback
• Access Control
  previous activity, open and close dates, time limit, delay 1/2/3, allow review
• Extra restrictions:
  attempts allowed, require password, require network address
• Grades:
  grading method, grade weighting, remove grade item
• Common module settings:
  Group mode, grouping, visible

To be complete, we need to verify that all the above settings are working with all the kinds of quiz file, and there are quite a few of those:

• JCloze
  • XML: standard jcl file
  • HTML: standard
  • HTML: dropdown
  • HTML: Find It (a)
  • HTML: Find It (b)
  • HTML JGloss
• JCross
  • XML: standard jcw file
• JMatch
  • XML: standard jmt file
  • HTML: standard drag-and-drop
  • HTML standard drop-down menus
  • HTML: flashcard
  • HTML: JIntro
  • HTML: JMemori
• JMix
  • XML: standard jmx file
  • HTML: standard drag-and-drop
  • HTML: standard clickable words
• JQuiz
  • XML: standard jqz file (4 question types)
  • HTML: standard (4 question types)
• WebSequitur
  • XML: standard sqt file
  • HTML: standard
• WebRhubarb
  • XML: standard rhb file
  • HTML: standard
• Qedoc
  • standard zip file (stored on qedoc.org)
    information on using Qedoc and QuizPort
• html
  • standard html file
  • iSpring (hmtl file with embedded iSping video)

It would be great if we could be organized about our testing. Maybe have a chart somewhere where we could tick off what has been checked, what has not, who is checking what, and cases which cause strange behavior. I don't have time to organize that myself at the moment, but if it were possible to coordinate that I would love to be able to presetnt the result to Martin and say "look, we know all this works, so we think HotPot is ready to be rejoin Moodle".

There is a store of standard HotPot and TexToys (WebSequitur and WebRhubarb) files in the Moodle 1.9 course, which you are welcome to download and use for testing:

• URL: http://bateson.kanazawa-gu.ac.jp/moodle/19/mysql/
• Course: Course Fullname 101
• Username: guestteacher
• Password: quizportv09
• Files directory: hp6.2

Here is a direct link to a zip file of the hp6.2 folder:

• zip file: hp6.2

best regards
Gordon

Hi Claude,

I imagine that numbering is removed by your custom CSS. We will probably have to modify the selector on the CSS so that it is able to pick out the list when it appears within Moodle 2.0. Please leave this with me to investigate.

thanks
Gordon

Good point Stan.

I have gone ahead and completed the naming of sections in the testing course on my server. I will also add some sample files to the "Legacy course files" area so that the are easily accessible when people are adding HotPot activities.

cheers
Gordon

Hi Stan,

yes I see what you mean. The is not the correct behavior. I will fix that tomorrow.

thanks
Gordon
