Short Assignments with Hot Potatoes

When your flipping the classroom, when you're using a moodle course in a laptop class, sometimes you want to provide your students with a short assignment about some facts and figures they should remember.

One very easy way is using Hot Potatoes.


You could choose between JCloze, JQuiz, JMatch, JCross and JMix.

With JQuiz you could create a test using multiple choice or short answers. JMatch helps you to build mix-and-match tasks for your students.

JCross allows you to create crosswords.

You are a tech-lover as we are? Great! You can import the final product in your moodle course.
You prefer offline activities? Also great! Print your final product and hand it out to your students.

JCloze creates - of course- clozes. I prefer to use them, because they are so easy to create and so effective to use.


Just write your text, mark the gaps - and that's it!
The final product can be exported to word for those who wish to print and copy.
But again moodle is waiting for you.
 Put it in your moodle course, try out some settings and booom - you will get students grades as easy as ABC!

I like that, it's a very easy way to make students learn some facts and figures. And as well to grade them easily.
