Hi Richard,

Thank you so much for spending time on this. I'm doing the download now - will probably take a while on my not-so-fast broadband connection.

I'll let you know how I get on running the DVD on my Mac Lion.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi everybody,

This discussion has been very useful to me - especially the fact that Mary tried Linux out on a Virtual Box. That doesn't seem the way to go. Saved me a lot of time.

I regret now giving away my PCs - I'll try and get another one cheap just to try out Linux.

I seem to have made a mistake trying to run Winows 7 in a Virtual Box on Mac Lion - all the problems Richard's just pointed out but particularly too slow to do any real work on.

Thanks everybody,

Glenys

Hi Eli,

I don't think you can do this with Questionnaire (it's a survey tool) but you can with Hot Potatoes if you insert a table in JCloze. Here are some examples :

• Carré magique (magic square)

• H₂O₂ → H₂O + O₂

Hot Potatoes is a native module in Moodle 1.9 but it has to be activated by the admin; in Moodle 2 it has to downloaded and installed as a plugin.

You'll get more information on the Hotpot module forum.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Rosaluz,

You can make drag and drop matching exercises by using the drag and drop function all browsers possess. Look:

I just dragged and dropped the Moodle icon into this forum message. (Actually, I'm not a 100%  sure that that kind of drag and drop works on all browsers but it does on Firefox. Inside a Hot Potatoes exercise drag and drop always works in my experience.)

Here's an example: Pronunciation of the -ed ending

Thanks to Martin Holmes who told me how to do this years ago.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Rosaluz,

Gordon has provided you with a neat solution  but if you do want the original Find-It files I can send you them (it's OK with Michael Rottmeier - I've checked).

You might find them useful if you wanted to do some customisations.

Write to me privately - my email is in my profile.

Cheers,

Glenys
