We now have to add the discovering sentences exercise to an existing Moodle course.
1. Log in to your Moodle server and make sure that the Hot Potatoes Quiz activity module isn't hidden.
2. Click on the desired course name (School) and then on Turn editing on.
3. Position the mouse pointer over the desired week under Weekly outline (a week later than the matching composite pictures exercise). Then, click on the Edit summary icon (a small hand with a pencil).
4. Enter
Exercise 2
in Summary and click on the Save changes button.5. Click on the Add an activity combo box for the selected week and choose Hot Potatoes Quiz.
6. A new web page will appear displaying the title Adding a new Hot Potatoes Quiz. Click on the Choose or upload a file… button and a pop-up window displaying information about files and folders will appear.
7. Click on chapter01 (the folder created in our previous exercise).
8. Click on the Upload a file button and then on Browse. Browse to the folder that holds the images and the files used in the exercise (
C:\School
) and select the file to upload,image010201.png
. Then, click on Open and on the Upload this file button.9. Repeat the aforementioned step for the file generated by JQuiz,
quiz0102.html
.10. Next, position the mouse pointer over the quiz0102.htm name and move it horizontally to the Choose action hyperlink in the same row. Then, click on Choose, as shown in the next screenshot:
11. Moodle will display
chapter01/quiz0102.html
in the File name textbox. This is the web page that will run the exercise previously created using JQuiz.12.

The web browser will show the discovering exercise with a multiple-choice format, as shown in the next screenshot:
We added the discovering sentences related to 3D scenes exercise to a Moodle course. Now, the students are going to be able to run the activity by clicking on its hyperlink on the corresponding week.
We used the previously created folder, chapter01
. We uploaded the bitmap image with the rendered 3D scene and the HTML file created with JQuiz (quiz0102.html).
We created a folder, chapter01
, in which we uploaded all the files for both the matching composite pictures and the discovering sentences exercises. However, sometimes, we need to organize the exercises' files using additional folders.
For example, we can organize the files using the following structure:
chapter01
exercise01
exercise02
We can create two sub-folders, exercise01
and exercise02
, in the chapter01
folder. This way, all the files related to the second exercise would have to be uploaded in the chapter01/exercise02
folder.
Note
The organization scheme chosen for the files will depend on the number of exercises and their relationship with your courses. However, in order to simplify your work, it is a good practice to keep all the files related to an exercise in a single folder. You can work with files in different folders; however, it will require you to work with complex paths in HTML code.
