Hi Claude,

It's really great to see some of the original exercises you've created on Gordon's site. Do you mind if I ask some questions?

I'm particularly interested in how you did, Claude's JCloze (rottmeier's bold)

When I make similar exercises, when it turns bold, a gap is inserted. Here for example, There once was a lady from Niger. No problem at the end of a word, but not elegant in the middle. How did you stop the gap being inserted?

I have more questions, but I'll be patient and go one at a time.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Gordon,

It's still sometimes slow for me (and has often been over the past few weeks - though I don't often go there).

If I've understood you correctly, you want each of the 20+ file types to be tested for the 25 settings you've listed above. I can imagine this fairly neatly on a spreadsheet, but in the tracker it would be a linear list of 500+ items. But I'm not very familiar with the tracker and maybe there's a better way of organising it.

Maybe a spreadsheet and the tracker could be combined. As soon as a file type has been tested on the 25 settings, it's marked as "done" in the tracker.

Sorry, don't have more time for this today. have finish getting a week's worth of work for students on line.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Gordon,

Consulting the tracker is very slow at the moment so I haven't been able to see : CONTRIB-2670

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to set up a spreadsheet on Google docs to do this? I could set that up tomorrow, Tuesday, if it would be useful.

Cheers,

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

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:

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