Hi Stephan,

You can have as many "correct" answers as you wish. You just have to type in the possibilities as "Accept as correct" when you're making the exercise. See the screenshot below - though I'm on a Mac where the layout looks a bit different and the Short answer question is called "Text" but it functions just the same.

I find, however that there's an inherent problem with this type of question: I, and my students, keep finding possible correct answers which I haven't forseen.

Cheers,

Glenys

PS: By the way, "back yard" written with a space in the middle is not correct as a compound word in my dialect of English. Sometimes the space can even change the meaning: a "black bird" is not the same as a "blackbird". But that's just me being a picky English teacher - not relevant to how Hot Potatoes works.

Just to add to what Guillermo has written, beware that the Moodle packages for Windows won't work on Windows 7 and Vista. See in the docs: Vista and Windows 7 - for Moodle 1.9 but I don't think it's been fixed for Moodle 2.0 - I'd love to be proved wrong.

Cheers,

Glenys

Dear Gordon,

Now everything works perfectly with Xerte in QuizPort! I've tested on Mac with Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. From the user's point of view, nothing seems kludgy.

Thanks once again for your rapidity and efficacity in finding solutions.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Deborah,

I never thought of testing different browsers. Shame on me!

Here are the results for my Xerte exercises

On Mac:

The standalone version is OK on:

Firefox 4.0.1, Opera 11.11, Chrome 12.0.742.91, Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1)

The QuizPort version is distorted on:

Firefox and Opera.

The QuizPort version "flashed briefly on the screen and then went to "continue" as you reported, Deborah, for both:

Chrome and Safari.

-----

On Windows 7

The standalone version is OK on:

Firefox, Opera, Chrome

The QuizPort version is distorted on:

Firefox

"flashed briefly on the screen and then went to "continue" on:

Chrome

Page not found on:

IE9

Hope that helps you find a solution, Gordon.

Hi Werner,

I think the problem is that Hot Potatoes is a core Module in Moodle 1.9 but a contributed module in 2.0

If you disactivate Hot Potatoes (and any non-core modules) before you start the update you should be OK. Once updated to 2.0, you can then install the Hot Pot Module.

Cheers,

Glenys
