HOT POTATOES


Hot Potatoes is shareware from Half-Baked Software which is based at the University of Victoria in Canada. It is a program that allows you to make six different types of self-test exercise. These exercises can also quite easily be imported into an LMS like Moodle to be used for assessment of learning content. 

Hot Potatoes was originally meant to create language exercises, and some HotPot exercises (like jumbled sentences) have little use otherwise. However, most exercises can be used for any subject. 
Hot Potatoes is shareware. That means you can freely download the program from the Internet (at https://hotpot.uvic.ca/). 

General description of the program Exercises are made in two steps. 
  1. First, you create the so-called "data file" which has a Hot Potato XML extension (like .jcw or .jcl). This file is useless without the Hot Potatoes program but is used to edit the exercises later. The exercises are exported to web-based exercises (which have the HTML extension .htm) which can be displayed anywhere on the Web. Note that you CANNOT RELOAD THE WEB PAGES INTO THE PROGRAM, so it is important to save your data files. 
  2. Second, when you have finished with the data file, save it, and then create the web-based exercise which you save under the same name as the data file so that you can easily find which ones belong together. Always check the exercise for spelling or punctuation errors you may have overlooked. when you make changes, do that in the data file, then save it again and overwrite the previous web page.

I have prepared two examples of Hot Potatoes exercises that you might want to do it. I also have left the links of the material so you should read the website first before you want to do the exercise in other post. Please check it out...

The Beginning of His Signs!

Water? No it's Wine! A Miracle - Storynory John 2 : 1-11 Based on Holy Bible, we know that Jesus Christ in Cana of Galilee did the beginning of his signs, and he made his glory manifest, and his disciples put their faith in him. This is the story of the most fun-loving miracle of all time - turning water into wine. I always like the story so much. In short, the story told about Jesus, Mary (His mom), and His disciples came in to a wedding in Cana of Galilee. In the middle of party, suddenly someone said "There is no more wine." Mary, the mother of Jesus was there and turned to her son and said "They have no wine." But Jesus said to her "What have I to do with you, woman? My hour has not yet come." Mary said to those ministering "Whatever he tells you, do." There were six stone water jars sitting there as required by the purification. Jesus said to them "Fill the water jars with the water." And they filled them to the brim...

Blended Learning

Based on Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blended_learning ) Blended Learning is an education program (formal or non-formal) that combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. While students still attend "brick-and-mortar" schools with a teacher present, face-to-face classroom practices are combined with computer-mediated activities regarding content and delivery.
