I am new to use hotpot. I am going to use this module so as to create quizes. I am working in linux platform (debian). Can some one suggest me how to create quiz using hot potatoes.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Vidhya,
in your post you said "I am new to use hotpot. I am going to use this module so as to create quizes", but actually the HotPot module doesn't create the quizzes, it only allows you to administer them via Moodle.
To create a Hot Potatoes quiz, you need the Hot Potatoes programs. These programs run on your PC. Actually there are 6 programs, but they are usually referred to all together as just "Hot Potatoes". You can download "Hot Potatoes" from the following URL:

The Hot Potatoes website has some good tutorials on how to create quizzes:

Once you have created a quiz on your PC, you upload it to your Moodle site and add it to your course as a HotPot activity.
Please be sure to use your Hot Potatoes quizzes according to Hot Potatoes license:

Beste Vidhya,
As Gordon says, you should download the hot potatoes program first and get it registered. ( you don't have to pay for that.)
But for getting a good impression about Hot Potatoes, you can look here:
http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/halfbaked/sites6.htm
Many examples of hot potatoe exercises.
On my own website www.hennyjellema.nl I do have 200 or so potatoes. I made them before I ever heard of Moodle.
Hartelijke groeten van Henny.
