Overview

The Hotpot activity module allows teachers to administer Hot Potatoes and TexToys quizzes via Moodle. These quizzes are created on the teacher's computer and then uploaded to the Moodle course. After students have attempted the quizzes, a number of reports are available which show how individual questions were answered and some statistical trends in the scores.

Dependencies

This module is required by the HotPot question import format for Moodle 2.x

It says this plugin works with 4.0 and 3.x versions too. If so, could you please update the description so this is clear? It still mentions Moodle 2.x - thank you

Hello everyone,

I've dropped by to inquire about the compatibility of this plugin with version 7. Should we consider discontinuing the use of this plugin at our institution, or should we inform our end users that an update will be available in the future? My inclination is towards the former option, but I'd appreciate confirmation from others.

Thank you for any input you can provide!

Hi, I have Moodle 4.5.5 and the Hotpot plugin installed. When I create a crossword puzzle, export it, and upload it to Moodle, I get the following error: "Sorry, the Hotpot module could not detect the source file type: /crucigramav5.jcw". If I download it as a SCORM file, I get the same error when uploading it. How can I fix this?
