Hello,
I have created a course which has a large number of HP exercises: over 280 divided into 12 Modules. In fact, the course consists almost entirely of HP exercises.
This creates a very long Moodle page with long lists of exercises and leads to several probems :

1. The students can be visually overwhelmed by such long lists.
2. It's difficult to get a simple overview of the course. I'd like to use the central Moodle block just for this.
3. Viewing their scores in "Grades" is very unwieldy.
   
4. Consulting the students' activity reports takes several minutes for each person. (I realise this could be due to our university server, but it doesn't seem slow otherwise).

My question: Is it possible to place the Hot Potatoes exercises somewhere other than the central block? I realise I can hide the long lists from the students and provide links to them in a html page; which would be more user friendly for the students but would take a lot of my work on my part. It wouldn't solve the problem of the time it takes to consult the students' work.

Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have a solution?

A beta version of the course can be visited here: http://crmte.univ-fcomte.fr/moodle/course/view.php?id=75
The enrollment key is: guess

I have another course which includes many other activities as well as Moodle exos. Each Module is graded but the Moodle scores count for only a small part of the grade. Is it possible to separate Moodle scores from other grades? I had to do all my grading outside Moodle to avoid being confused by the mass of HP scores? Any solution?

The enrollment key is: bat

In spite of these problems mainly to do with grading, I'm very happy with the way HP works in Moodle thanks to Gordon.

Cheers,
Glenys

Hello Derya,

First, you have to create the Hot Pot exercises on your computer and then upload them into Moodle. Is this what you're trying to do? What exactly is the problem?
Creating the exercises or uploading them into Moodle?

Bonjour Leila,

Que veux tu dire par un "générateur des questionnaires" ? Hot Potatoes génère des exercices du type QCM et plusieurs autres formats.

Il y a un Site des utilisateurs français de Hot Potatoes et de Netquiz

qui propose un Tutoriel de Hot Potatoes 6 en français.

Cordialement,
Glenys

Hello Gordon and Josep,

First of all, excuse me for participating so little in this forum recently - I've been too busy making Moodle courses full of HP exercises I have been reading and learning

I have had this problem with the   HTML code being visible in old HP exos. I recreated the exos in the current version of HP where (I think, but I'm not 100% sure) it wasn't necessary to use HTML code to get the formating I wanted. Anyway, the exos look OK now. If you want to see them, just ask me for the URL & key.

Hope this helps,
Glenys

I have noticed some other little probs.When I have time to describe them as precisely as I can, I'll write here.
